Ideal testing for steam or gas turbines as well as paper machines and large hydraulics when you want to go beyond routine analysis. This can be your regular monthly sampling or used as that little bit extra suite every 3, 6 or 12 months to get a more detailed picture between routine samples. Testing is based on the requirements of power generation equipment manufacturers and users to give you the most complete health check on your system.
