The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers comprehensive oil sample testing services. Industrial machines are a significant expense for businesses, necessitating meticulous maintenance plans and strategies to ensure their optimal functionality and extend their lifespan. Oil analysis is a critical component of predictive maintenance programs, and our sample testing services can help identify equipment issues before they worsen.
What is Oil Analysis?
Oil analysis, or oil sample testing, is the process of analyzing a lubricant’s composition and properties for signs of contamination. Oil analysis is comparable to a blood test during a doctor’s visit; it provides important insight into a machine’s health. Signs of concern within an oil sample may highlight potential issues within the machine itself. An oil analysis provides information on the following:
- Viscosity
- Contamination levels
- Wear metals
- Additive health
About Our Oil Sample Testing Services
Our state-of-the-art laboratory offers comprehensive oil analysis services to help optimize maintenance schedules and ensure the health of your equipment. Using advanced gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), we can precisely identify contaminants, additives, and signs of degradation in oil samples. The technology enables us to detect early signs of wear, oxidation, and chemical instability. The data collected from our services provides our clients with the information needed to address issues within their equipment, long before the issues arise to levels that directly impact performance. Our oil sample testing offers critical insights that help clients do the following:
- Reduce downtime
- Increase operational efficiency
- Extend the life cycle of equipment.
When is Oil Sample Testing Important?
Oil analysis is most effective when performed on a consistent schedule that takes into account the working conditions and workload of a particular piece of equipment. Systems running continuously, exposed to harsh environments, or operating under heavy loads may require more frequent sampling than equipment operating under less severe circumstances. Our specialists help clients establish a routine sampling schedule, whether that be monthly, quarterly, or annually. This helps ensure our laboratory receives data that accurately reflects your equipment’s true operating conditions.
