What is Fluid Analysis?

Preventive, diagnostic testing that:

Identifies contaminants and component wear

Ensures lubricant integrity

Identifies minor problems before they become major failures

Maximizes asset reliability

3

Benefits of Fluid Analysis

Identify minor problems before they become major failures—monitoring trends in wear and contamination can help prevent catastrophic failures

Extend drain intervals—fluid changes should be performed when the condition of the fluid requires them, reducing unnecessary labor costs

Extend equipment life—monitoring system cleanliness can help reduce repair and replacement costs and enables you to keep equipment longer

Maximize asset reliability—scheduling downtime according to your schedule can eliminate unforeseen decreases in production
