Home / Services /Insulating Oil Testing
We work with clients to create cost-effective test packages applicable to their particular equipment and mechanical designs. Companies typically spend at least 10% of their revenues on maintenance and equipment repair. Add to this the cost of equipment downtime, decreased productivity, and devalued used machines, and this can easily add up to Millions of rupees per year. Standard testing programs for equipment reliability are comprised of routine tests that can meet most service requirements.
Companies that take oil analysis to the next level concentrate on root cause analysis. Equipment diagnosis and evaluating test results consists of looking at both the health of the equipment and the integrity of the oil. Trending of the test data over a period of time is a valuable tool to monitor ongoing equipment condition and allows you to predict corrective action before interruption to operations or increased maintenance costs occur.
Effective trending analysis will minimize equipment downtime, permit more efficient maintenance scheduling, protect warranty claims, and increase equipment resale value.
