Filters, Elastomers, Injectors, Bearings & Investigative Analysis

Investigative analysis includes helping customers with specific problems with their machinery or fluids. There is no specific suite of tests as this is tailored for each sample, but it can help answer questions customers raise such as:

Wear modes & causes of failures
Cause of blocked filters
Identification of unknown materials client found in or around machinery
Seal / Rubber hardness, compatibility, swell, stretch and compression properties.

Grease & Bearings

Grease analysis can help detect faults such as:

Misalignment
Under / Over-greasing
Mixing of grease types
Contaminants e.g. dirt + water
Over used lubricant / overheating
Soap and lubricant separation
