Investigate wear particles and contaminants in lubricants to uncover internal system conditions, eliminate root causes, and maximize asset uptime.
Oil debris analysis is the investigation of wear particles and contaminates in grease or oil lubricant. Investigating and analyzing these particles help develop a clear picture of the type of wear or contamination occurring within a system.
Information obtained from oil debris analysis can lend insight into a system well beyond just describing the condition of the lubricant. The minimization of downtime and unexpected failures, and an increase in uptime can be achieved successfully.
Oil debris wear analysis helps determine key elements in assessing root cause analysis by providing concrete observations or proof that a certain type of wear has occurred or is under development.
In addition to determining root causes of a particular problem, maintenance personnel receive advanced notice of upcoming machine issues by using wear debris analysis—commonly referred to as predictive maintenance.
Industrial maintenance departments are constantly evaluating their systems and looking for areas where reliability can improve. Improved reliability means an increase in Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF). The best way to increase MTBF is to eliminate the failure’s root cause.
