Lubrication Analysis
Lubrication analysis can be used as a troubleshooting tool to determine if a failure is about to occur saving costly unscheduled production interruptions.
What is Lubrication Analysis?
Lubrication analysis is the process of analyzing oil or grease in order to determine its properties, contaminants and wear debris. Lubricant analysis can also include the analysis of filters to determine root cause of failures or identify particles from bearings or other components in the system.
When should you use Lubrication Analysis?
Lubricant analysis is part of a comprehensive Predictive Maintenance (PdM) program along with other technologies like vibration analysis, and airborne ultrasound. The results from this testing can tell you the health of your equipment from wear debris, or the health of the lubricant itself to determine whether it should be changed sometimes saving unnecessary costs.
