Oil Analysis

Oil Analysis

MACHINE MONITORING SYSTEM Oil analyses procedure follows the ASTM International standards, helping to improve plant reliability to global benchmarks. The operating life of the most industrial machinery is directly related to the contamination and chemistry of the lubricants. Degraded oil, wrong oil, and inadequate lubrication are significant contributors to early failures. Oil analysis can effectively forecast the impending catastrophic failure of mechanical and electrical systems through which the oil flows.

"Metal Lab" can provide analysis for all types of synthetic and mineral oils, engine oils, gas engine oils, hydraulic oils, transmission oils, gear oils, coolants, grease, cutting fluids, water based oils, glycols emulsions, diesel fuel, bunker fuel and biodiesel etc.

Scope of work:

  • The scope of work consists of collection of oil samples from the rotating equipment and processing of samples in the lube oil analyzer for analysis as per Customer directions.
  • MACHINE MONITORING SYSTEM shall Conduct FERROGRAPHY (Wear Debris Analysis) & Elemental Analysis as per ASTM Procedure D 5185 / 05a and Submit the report accordingly.
  • Sample collection will be done by MACHINE MONITORING SYSTEM. All necessary equipment’s for sample collection (Pumps, Pipes, and Bottles etc.) will be arranged by the party.
  • Soft copies of the test results will be submitted to the Engineer In charge within 10 days of sample collection & hard copies of the test results within 15 days of the sample collection.
  • Billing will be done based on the no. of samples collected (after submission of Analysis Reports ).
