Predictive Oil & Industrial Fluid Condition Monitoring
Oil analysis is an essential predictive maintenance tool for assessing the mechanical and thermal condition of the machine. This analysis makes it possible to anticipate breakdowns, optimize maintenance and lubricant renewal in the long term.
Comprehensive Fluid Diagnostics Include:
- Hydraulic Fluids & Turbine Oils: We analyze all hydraulic fluids (mineral, synthetic, biodegradable, HFC, HFDU, HFDR, Skydrol, etc.), as well as turbine oils for viscosity, ISO 4406 cleanliness, water contamination, varnish potential, and antioxidant life.
- Physico-Chemical Analysis of Heat Transfer Fluids: We carry out physico-chemical analyses of heat transfer fluids to assess their quality and detect the risks of corrosion, sludge or bacterial proliferation.
- Transformer Oils: We analyze transformer oils for early signs of defects (Dissolved Gas Analysis DGA, dielectric breakdown voltage, moisture, acidity, interfacial tension) to limit breakdowns and operating losses.
Sampling & Diagnostic Workflow:
To do this, we take representative samples of heat transfer fluid and industrial lubricants to conduct kinematic viscosity, TAN/TBN, flash point, Karl Fischer water determination, and elemental wear metal analysis (ICP-OES).
