Oil Analysis
Oil analysis is the analysis of a lubricant’s properties, composition, and contaminants. It is a routine activity used to determine the health of oil and the machinery in which it is used. Think of it as a blood test for machinery. Oil analysis can detect signs of abnormal wear, such as metal particles, that indicate friction, corrosion, or fatigue in the machine components. Oil analysis can also detect signs of contamination, such as water, dust, or fuel, that can affect the lubrication, cooling, or hydraulic functions of the machine. Oil analysis can also detect signs of degradation, such as oxidation, that can reduce the quality and performance of the oil.
