Hydraulic Oil Analysis

These systems operate under extremely close tolerances demanding regular monitoring for fluid cleanliness.

Particle Count can detect potential wear-causing dirt and contaminants early enough to take action.

Water is biggest concern – it accelerates acid formation, increases oxidation and reduced lubricity – all lead to system failure.

Water % by Karl Fischer provides a precise measurement of how much water is present in fluid.

Tests include:
Wear Metals
Water by Crackle %
Viscosity @ 40° C
Acid Number
Oxidation
Particle Count
