Lubricant analysis is an important part of preventive maintenance and involves the systematic examination of lubricant samples. Parameters such as particle content (metal abrasion), water and moisture content, additive degradation, viscosity, contaminants and chemical ageing are measured.
The aim is to detect signs of wear, contamination or oil ageing at an early stage so that maintenance measures can be initiated in good time – before failures occur. The analysis enables lubrication intervals to be optimised, component service life to be extended, unplanned downtime to be reduced and the choice of lubricant to be optimised.
Correct sampling, regular analysis intervals and evaluation by experts are important. Overall, lubricant analysis contributes significantly to cost efficiency, resource conservation and operational safety in industrial applications.
