Industrial Oil Analysis Services

The analysis of used oil adds value to an operation by serving as a cost-reducing predictive maintenance tool for oil-wetted machinery.

WearCheck’s programme analyses for wear, contamination levels and oil condition in any oil-wetted component or oil filter found in equipment used in a wide spectrum of industries, including the electrical, maritime, mining, earthmoving, construction, road transport and aircraft sectors.

Laboratory Tests:
The exact tests carried out on a sample are determined by the type of machine, the component and the type of oil.

The tests are designed to measure applicable combinations of the following:

  • Wear metals
  • Contaminants: dirt, water, fuel, soot, coolant
  • Additives
  • Cleanliness rating
  • Viscosity at 40°C and 100°C
  • Water, in parts per million, by Karl Fisher titration
  • Total base number (TBN)
  • Total acid number (TAN)
  • Oil filter analysis
