Oil analysis is a common maintenance practice that analyzes oil health, machine wear, and oil contamination.

1. UNDERSTANDING OIL ANALYSIS

2. Oil analysis is a common maintenance practice
that analyzes oil health, machine wear, and oil
contamination. It is carried out to determine
whether or not a lubricated machine is operating
as per expectations and to understand the
condition of the oil. Let’s have a look at three
main categories of oil analysis:
INTRODUCTION

3. This type of oil analysis determines the oil’s
chemical and physical state, and the remaining
useful life. Fluid properties help understand the
health of oil in terms of viscosity, active
additives, additives depletion, etc.

4. Oil analysis detects the presence of
contaminants and determines whether or not
the oil is clean. It also analyzes the types of
contaminants, their source, and internal leakage.
2. CONTAMINATION

5. This type of oil analysis focuses on particles
produced as a result of corrosion, mechanical
wear, and surface degradation. It determines
whether or not the machine is degrading at
normal pace. It also helps determine wear
mode, wear condition, and internal parts from
where the wearing down is originating.
