Define the question
Tell us the lubricant, equipment, and concern. Agree on the scope before sampling or sending reports.
INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANT ANALYSIS
See the condition.
Know the next move.
Turn lubricant test results into a clearer picture of equipment health. Independent analysis and informed interpretation, built around your operation.

01 / A CLEARER PICTURE
Your lubricant has
a story to tell.
From a single report to an ongoing condition monitoring program, connect the measured results with the lubricant, equipment, and operating conditions behind them.
01
Understand fluid condition
Explore viscosity, moisture, degradation, and the characteristics that matter to your application.
Oil condition analysis ↗02Look beyond the surface
Investigate contamination and wear indicators in the context of equipment and service history.
Contamination & wear ↗03Make the results useful
Bring lab reports into focus with reference-informed evaluation and clearly identified uncertainties.
Report interpretation ↗02 / FROM NUMBERS TO UNDERSTANDING
Good data deserves
clear interpretation.
A number alone is only part of the picture. The right comparison depends on the right context.
- Lubricant identity and viscosity grade
- Equipment, application, and operating history
- Applicable references and test methods
- Clear distinction between findings and unknowns
LV / CONDITION REVIEWILLUSTRATIVE
The result. With context.
Select an example to see how the interpretation changes.
Kinematic viscosity at 40°C46.8 mm²/s
Illustrative interval41.4–50.6 mm²/s
WITHIN REFERENCE
This example falls within the illustrative comparison interval. It does not establish the condition of the entire lubricant or machine.
Example only. This ±10% interval is not a universal service limit or a product specification.
03 / MANY LUBRICANTS. ONE CLEAR APPROACH.
Built around the fluid
you actually use.
Hydraulic oils, gear oils, turbine oils, compressor oils, engine oils, and industrial greases. The lubricant and its application shape the program.

04 / A PRACTICAL PROCESS
From question
to clearer direction.
Capture the context
Use a consistent sample point and document the product, service hours, top-ups, and recent maintenance.
Review the findings
Bring results and applicable references together, with a clear account of what is known and what needs follow-up.
