RS PRO Oil Test Kit and Analysis Service
Adverse mechanical wear
Oil health
Moisture ingress
Lubricant contamination
What service is included with this kit from RS PRO?
Full testing and analysis from our ASTM and ISO certified laboratory and support from our in-house lab chemists and experts in analytical chemistry and lubricant condition monitoring
We look at the fluid properties like viscosity, contamination, and wear debris to determine any wear issues or leaks within the machinery
Once the analysis is complete, a clear report is issued to help you make the most of the results to help maintain and troubleshoot the reliability of your machines
How does this help me?
By providing a testing service, unscheduled and costly downtime can be minimised or avoided, either as part of a single test and analysis exercise or an ongoing lubricant monitoring programme
In turn, this can reduce repair and change out expenses, while improving productivity and maximising output by extending the life of your equipment
Long term preventative maintenance monitoring can increase cost savings and profits while feeding data that can contribute to trend identification and rectifying potential problems before they become more serious and costly issues
Where would oil and lubricant analysis be required?
What is the process?
The fluid sample is extracted using the kit
The oil sample pot is posted to the lab in a pre-paid envelope
The RS PRO Lab analyses samples
The data is reviewed and interpreted, and the final analysis report is compiled and then returned to the customer within 3 working days of receipt of the sample by our laboratory
What do the standard tests include?
Visual Inspection - Visually review colour, haziness, suspended solids and layering
Elemental Analysis by ICP-OES - Spectral analysis to determine wear metals, additives, contaminants and more
Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C - Identify grade mismatches, thermal degradation and additive
AN (Acid Number) - Determines acidity a...
