Oil & Particle Analysis
Oil & Particle Analysis is analogous to doing a
blood test on patients. Like blood, oil contains information about the
system in which it circulates.
Oil Analysis tests addresses three aspects of a
lubricated system:
- Degradation of the oil
- Contamination
- Wear and Fatigue of the system being
lubricated
Several test methods are used to analyze oil
condition and contamination. Depending on the machine where the oil is
circulating, the following are the different test packages.

 There
are two ways to get your oil samples for analysis. Machine Healthcare
technician can collect the oil samples for you or sample bottles will be
sent to you for your personnel to collect the oil samples which will
then be sent back to us for analysis.
If you wish to have the 2nd
option, Machine Healthcare can provide you with the
Oil
Sampling Kit (Item 3040)along with instructions on how to properly
collect the oil in order to avoid external contamination of the sample.
A short video clip
showing how to take oil samples from a hydraulic system was taken. Tips
follow after the video. Total running time: 1 minute 29 seconds.
