Lubrication

Oil sampling and analysis at arrival provides an indication of the condition and care your supplier has taken to ensure the lubricant meets specifications and is contaminant free. The use of our oil sampling products and oil analysis services establishes a baseline on lubricant quality and condition when received into your facility.

Lubricants can stay in this stage for extended periods of time. Performing dimensional sampling on a time schedule basis maintains oil quality and the chain of custody until transfer takes place. We provide solutions to maintain lubricant quality and keep lubricants contaminant free before they enter your equipment.

The transfer stage is where lubricants are taken from their primary storage containers to secondary containers. Personnel practices when dispensing lubricants from storage containers such as cross-contamination, open containers, and dirty equipment are some of the concerns. We has solutions to overcome these concerns.

Maintaining oil condition during the application stage is the main concern to prevent premature equipment failure and reduce equipment life. Preventing contamination starts by sealing and protecting your equipment to maintain its operating integrity. Evaluating the environment, access, criticality, and requirements of the equipment for the right products will lead to the proper adaptations to maximize your equipment's and lubricant's life.

A lubricant is in the lifecycle stage from the time it is applied, through its useful life and ultimately retired. During this stage, ongoing monitoring via oil analysis, sensors, and other methods are used to maximize lubricant life and increase oil change intervals while optimizing equipment performance.
