Oil Analysis / Tribology - the most cost-effective service to prevent machine breakdowns and reduce your lubrication and maintenance costs.
Monition's laboratory service analyses Oil Chemistry to tell you the condition of your oil and advise you when it needs changing to ensure the ongoing protection of your machinery.
Analysis of the wear metals (microscopic metal particles produced when two metal surfaces rub against each other) and other contaminants (dust, water, additives - even wrong oil grade) within the lubricant will reveal any deteriorating internal components. Monition's tribology services can pinpoint the source of wear metals (bearings, gears, clutch plates etc), trend the wear rate of the deteriorating internal component and advise when maintenance needs to be scheduled to prevent a breakdown in service.
We provide customers with complete oil sampling kits, containing: sample bottles, plastic syringe & tubing and return pre-paid postage envelope. Customers simply send their oil samples to Monition's laboratory, and we return a fully-detailed report within a few working days.
Monition can also provide customers with a complete, on-site oil sampling service within most parts of mainland UK, through our team of specialist Condition Monitoring Engineers.
Monition's own laboratory analyses thousands of Gearbox, Engine, Compressor and Hydraulic Oils every year, with industrial customers ranging from Quarries to Rail Operators to Food Manufacturers. Our oil report, featuring colour-coded alarm-levels and clear comments for recommended maintenance action, enables customers to: -
- maximise oil lifetime by only replacing lubricants when necessary
- prevent breakdowns by early identification of deteriorating machine components
- schedule planned downtime to maintain machines
- reduce lubrication and maintenance expense
- reduce environmental impact by reducing waste oils
- manage their machinery lubrication programmes effectively
Monition's laboratory can process both standard (engine, gear, compressors oils etc) and hydraulic oils. We can also arrange for the analysis of High Voltage Transformer oils, Dissolved Gas Analysis, PCB and Pour-Point testing.
Our range of standard, in-house analysis tests include:
- Ferrous Wear
- Spectrographic elemental parts-per-million (PPM)
- Water Content
- Digital Viscosity
- Particle Count
- ISO Cleanliness
- Dielectric Testing (oil cleanliness)
