Oil analysis is an activity that provides information about the condition of an oil and any contamination, but also about the state of wear of the machine. Analysis is used to verify whether the lubricated machine is working as expected. If fluctuations in the measured parameter are detected, a targeted service can be performed that can be many times cheaper than a repair at a later date. Without knowledge of the possible cause, servicing has to be based on experience and luck.
Oil analysis focuses on three main categories.
Liquid properties - analyses of this category focus on the physical/chemical condition of the oil in the given lifespan phase.
Contamination – a contamination analysis establishes the presence of contaminants and their possible source or sources.
Wear – a wear analysis monitors the presence of particles sourced from mechanical wear, e.g. from corrosion or the degradation of machine parts.
