Patch Testing


Sample of Oil Analysis Report

Oil Solutions have their own oil testing laboratory and use the patch testing method of oil analysis.

The Patch Test is valuable tool in ascertaining the condition of the oil in your machines.

An oil sample is taken from each of your machines and in our laboratory we analysis it by putting it a 100ml of oil through a special membrane. The contamination that is in the oil is collected on the membrane and the results examined under a microscope.

While our preferred method of testing is in our laboratory, we can were necessary bring our equipment into the field as well.

We provide our clients with detailed reports, visual samples and comparison graphs similar to what is seen on the left.

You can collect the samples your self using our prepaid sample bottles or we can come and collect the samples for you.


Guidelines for Oil Sampling (73 Kb)

It is good practice to have a cleanliness goal for every oil-filled system. This is the basic requirement to insure reliability at the lowest possible cost.

Frequency of analysis
In the implementation phase of a condition monitoring system, analyses must be made frequently – at least every six to twelve months – in order to establish a knowledge data base. Every oil system should have a log where analysis results are registered, The logbook must also contain information about oil type, oil changes, break-downs, targeted ISO class code and oil analysis results.

Oil Solutions is equipped to do this for you.
