Oil Analysis: Protect Equipment & Prevent Downtime

When you think about it, a hydraulic machine is a bit like a human body.  

Oil analysis provides insight into the health of hydraulic equipment much like a blood test helps assess the health of the human body.

A hydraulic machine is surprisingly similar to the human body. The motor and pump act as the equipment’s heart, circulating oil throughout the hydraulic system much like blood flowing through a person’s veins. When someone is feeling unwell or monitoring an ongoing medical condition, blood testing provides critical insight into what is happening inside the body and helps guide the appropriate care.

In the same way, oil analysis begins with a fluid sample to evaluate equipment health and identify potential problems related to contamination, fluid condition, and wear.

Contaminants and varnish circulating through the oil can contribute to equipment inefficiency, component wear, failure, and reduced service life. In fact, it is estimated that more than 70% of hydraulic system failures are related to fluid contamination. Fuel and process fluids can also be susceptible to damaging contamination.
