If the metal particles are increasing in number, it’s possible that excessive wear is taking place and the equipment from which the sample came needs to be inspected closely. #routine#oiltesting
Just as frequent washing of your hands and regular showers or baths play a key role in keeping human bodies clean and free of germs and bacteria, having clean fluids and lubricants is vital in maintaining good engine and component health. #techenomics
An oil analysis can also detect a coolant leak within the engine. Water or glycol may vaporize as soon as they leave the cooling system, but coolant contaminants may leave traces of sodium, potassium or boron in the oil, which are indicators of a coolant leak. #oiltesting
Studies have shown that improper lubrication leads to:
43% of mechanical failures
54% of bearing failures
50% of roller bearing damage
70% of equipment failures
Many issues related to engine wear and tear, including engine coolant leak into oil system, or a cumulative, progressive, fuel dilution or dirt/dust ingress from the air-intake system are detected by Routine oil analysis.

From the frozen tundra of Mongolia, to the heat and dust of Australia and steamy tropical jungles of South East Asia, Techenomics adapts its solutions to match each customer’s unique situation. #techenomics#global#oil#testing#independent
"Oil condition monitoring predictive maintenance programs are helping us to avoid equipment failure by reducing operational costs, providing better customer service and increasing profitability." #customer#feed#support#eachother
We conduct a full range of condition monitoring tests at all our laboratories. Tests range from the basic oil analysis, viscosity, contamination and wear metal content, to more specialised testing such as dielectric strength & DGA for transformer oil.
