CONDITION MONITORING – FUEL AND LUBRICANTS
ANALYSIS
LUBRICANTS
The Condition Monitoring Division of Intertek Geotech
provides lubricant analysis to monitor the working
condition of fixed and mobile machinery. The primary
function of an oil analysis program is the early detection
of degradation, contamination and wear problems
which, if not checked, could otherwise lead to costly
damage, equipment failure and unsafe operation.
In summary, the benefits of a Condition Monitoring
program are;
• Reduced operation and repair costs
• Increased equipment availability
• Increased operational reliability
• Improved safety
Oil analysis programs have shown significant cost
benefits to participating companies, with condition
monitoring programs costing about 10% of the damage
incurred from detectable equipment failures.
Intertek Geotech’s oil condition laboratory is a NATA
accredited facility and offers a full suite of testing,
including oil characterisation, ferrography, wear
analysis and particle counting. The interpretation of
analytical data is provided routinely to clients.

FUELS – INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY
The Fuels – Industrial Chemistry Section of the
Condition Monitoring Division of Intertek Geotech
provides two main services to clients: Testing and
Consulting.
Testing includes the analysis and testing of liquid fuels
and materials as well as product control and
specification testing. Testing is performed for small
and large operators on either a casual or contract
basis.
Consulting utilises the diverse laboratory facilities and
expertise within the company to provide a problem-
solving service to clients.
Geotech has considerable experience in large
multidisciplinary projects where chemical analysis and
interpretation are necessary.
SERVICES
• Testing of all Types of Liquid Fuels and Crude
Oils
• Analysis of a Wide Range of Inorganic and
Organic Material
• Material Failure Analysis
• Corrosion Product Analysis
• Metal Analysis
• Analysis of Deposits, Sludges and Residues
• Material Testing for Insurance and Litigation
Purposes
• Specification Conformity Testing
• Aviation and Military Fuel Testing
