Lubricant (Grease & Oil) Analysis
Including lubricant analysis within your condition monitoring programme will have a positive impact on the longevity and productivity of your equipment.
Lubricant Analysis
Why is lubricant analysis important?
Routine lubricant analysis helps confirm lubricant quality and functionality while also providing valuable insight into machine condition.
Laboratory testing can identify particulate contamination, wear debris, fluid degradation and abnormal asset behaviour before these issues lead to costly failures. Regular testing throughout equipment life also provides trend data to support predictive maintenance decisions.
Analysis helps you:
Protect lubricant condition
Confirm whether oil, grease, fuel, coolant or heat transfer fluid remains suitable for service.
Identify contamination and wear
Detect particles, degradation and wear debris before they develop into asset failures.
Trend asset health
Build a clearer picture of equipment condition and maintenance requirements over time.

Analysis Solutions
Fluid and oil analysis solutions
Lubricant analysis can cover oil, grease, fuel, coolants and heat transfer fluids, helping teams understand both fluid condition and asset condition.
Lubrication oil analysisA predictive maintenance technique used to monitor machine health, detect wear and ensure correct lubrication. Typical outputs include oil properties, contamination indicators, wear mechanisms, lubricant condition and asset health trends. |
Coolant analysisVital for maintaining system cleanliness, reliability and energy efficiency. Coolant analysis can provide early warning of equipment issues, identify component failures and support improved lifecycle management. |
Fuel testingHelps ensure fuel quality, cleanliness and compliance with warranty or operational requirements. Testing can help identify clogged filters, injector problems, sticking valves, degradation and performance issues. |
Grease testingSimilar to oil analysis, grease testing can highlight contamination, asset condition and grease quality. It supports correct lubrication of bearings and other assets, helping protect long-term equipment reliability. |
