Oil Analysis

Laboratory or on-site analysis of lubricants to identify contamination, wear particles and lubricant degradation.

Examples

01Oil analysis of a turbine gearbox shows rising iron particles, a sign of gear wear.
02The weekly maintenance review checks oil analysis results for all critical gearboxes and hydraulic units.
03Based on the oil analysis, the gearbox is opened at the next planned stop and a damaged gear is replaced before failure.
