Oil Analysis

Oil analysis involves sampling and analysing oil for various properties and material to monitor wear and contamination in an engine, gear, transmission o hydraulic system. Sampling and analysing on regular basis establishes a base line of normal wear and can help indicate when abnormal wear or contamination is occurring. Oil analysis works like this: oil that has been inside any moving mechanical apparatus for a period of time reflects the exact condition of assembly. Oil is in contact with mechanical component as wear metallic trace particles enter the oil. These particles are so small that they remain in suspension. Many products of combustion processes also will be trapped in the circulating oil. The oil becomes history of a machine. Particles caused by normal wear and operation will mix with the oil. Any externally caused contamination also enters the oil. By identifying and measuring these impurities, one get and indication of rate of wear and of any excessive contamination. An oil analysis also will suggest method to reduce accelerated wear and contamination. There are various oil analysis service providers in the market, who are giving only the value of wear and additives as greater then 1 or smaller then 1, but J & J Techno Service provides the exact value of materials (wear, additive, etc), contained in the oil, from which the user can find what is the exact condition of the oil as well as the equipment. Oil analysis can detect: fuel dilution of lubrication oil; dirt contamination in the oil; anti-freeze in the oil; excessive bearing wear; and misapplication of lubrication. Early detection can: reduce repair bills; reduce catastrophic failures; increase machinery life; and reduce non –scheduled down.
