OIL ANALYSIS TECHNICAL REPORT

Oil Analysis Report Structure showing the format and detailed information that we can provide. All the details are stored on the Oil Laboratory data base. These details are then inserted into a pdf file that is sent out as the Analysis Report to the customer. The Database enables the interpreter to maintain records and build trend analysis for individual types of machinery.

We can also provide software for companies who wish to produce their own detailed reporting structures. The software is compatible to our laboratory software and allows users to import data direct, write reports and build detailed information for machinery.

BASIC TESTING

The following tests are covered under the standard sample price.
Other services including particle counts to ISO 4406 standards are available at extra cost.

1) Full spectrographic analysis of wear metals, oil additives, contaminants by ICP,
ASTM D5185
Readings are in ppm ( parts per million ).

2) Total ferrous debris, including large particles. Using a 51FW meter.
Units are dimensionless.

3) Viscosity in centistokes at 40 deg.c. ASTM D445.

4) Infrared analysis of engine samples to monitor oil condition and degradation.
Reported as % allowable.

5) Water analysis. ASTM D1744.

6) The following are also carried out at the discretion of the interpreter:
Fuel contamination by closed-cup flash point. ASTM D93
Anti-freeze by wet chemical analysis,
Ferrography is carried out when necessary. Photographic evidence can also be included to support/record the findings.

7) TAN & TBN are also available to IP417.
