Contamination Analysis Industrial Lubricants

Why do the analysis of lubricants?
Analysis of lubricant is used effectively in a maintenance program because it has two main advantages:

• Evaluate whether the lubricant is still suitable for use.
• Check the percentage of metal particles in the lubricant film.

As with the analysis?
Analysis of lubricant is made by taking a sample of about 100ml which can be harvested directly from the client following a particular procedure or this work may be done by MP Moto Riduttori.

What you need to look for during the anaysis?
In order to assess what is written above that is: the suitability of the lubricant during use and the presence of metallic particles of wear, you have to control such parameters as:

• Increase or decrease the viscosity.
• Increased acidity.
• Presence of moisture.
• Presence of contaminants.
• Assessment of the status of additives.

Where there is the presence of metallic particles should be checked:

• Type of material that composes (Iron, Lead, Copper, Bronze ,...).
• Ppm percentage of particles of various elements at the time of collection.
• The study of the shape of particles in the lubricant.
• The dimensions are such particles.

The study of changes during a given period of time well you can understand the behavior of the lubricant and the machinery.

Rapid Replacement Service:
If the lubricant emerging from the analysis data which require rapid replacement surgery of the old lubricant with a new MP gearing can be found in the short term also significant quantities of lubricant.
