Oil Analysis and Conditioning
OIL ANALYSIS, CLEANING AND TESTING
Prevent premature component failings and breakdown and get the best from your equipment with oil contamination level monitoring and management.
To get the best from your machines and equipment it is critical that oil contamination levels are carefully monitored and kept under control. Identifying system contamination, the types of contaminants and identifying the cause, will prevent premature component failings and breakdown.
FPS use microscopic oil analysis with a state-of-the-art‘ fluid control unit’ to identify particle composition, oil viscosity and water saturation. It’s a cost-effective way to monitor oil quality and cleanliness, identify system contamination, and the type of wear it causes.
We also test oil viscosity to ensure your lubricants are providing the correct film thickness to reduce wear. We can determine if the right oil is being used and take photos for future comparison.
Once we get an oil diagnostic report, we can address the cause of any system contamination. Extra filtration, and/or component upgrades or servicing may be required. This can be done at your site or at ours. Our state-of-the-art mobile HYDAC oil filtration system allows us to clean your hydraulic and lubrication oil so you can reuse it.
Oil Analysis
If your business depends on machinery running smoothly, ensure your lubricants are protecting that machinery. FPS provides a range of oil analysis and testing methods that are useful to a variety of industries and equipment.
Analysing oil is a smart and cost-effective way to keep tabs on oil quality and cleanliness. It is also an effective way to reduce wear and tear on machinery parts and ensure you are running at your best.
Oil Analysis Methods
Viscosity is the most important physical property of oil. Testing the oil's viscosity ensures that a lubricant can provide the correct film thickness in a machine or application to ensure that metal components do not rub against each other and create component wear.
Microscopic oil analysis allows us to see exactly what contaminant is compromising your machine's health together with the type of wear it causes. We can determine if the correct oil is being used for the application and take photographs for future comparison. A state-of-the-art ‘fluid control unit’ is used to identify particle compositions, oil viscosity, and water saturation.
Once the oil condition is understood an appropriate plan to address the cause of the contamination can be put in place. Extra filtration may be required and/or system components may require servicing.
