About Fluid Analysis

Fluid analysis is a preventive maintenance tool designed to evaluate lubricant condition, component wear and contamination in industrial and fleet applications. Routine fluid analysis can detect lubricant or equipment issues before major problems develop.

The AMSOIL Industrial Lubricant Analysis Program protects valuable equipment by providing timely, accurate and easy-to-understand fluid analysis. It is backed by personal, friendly customer service from our technical personnel. We work with fully equipped laboratories staffed by trained analysts and offer a complete line of oil analysis services to help you get the most from your lubricants and extend equipment life.

Maximize Drain Intervals

Extending drain intervals minimizes maintenance costs and maximizes uptime, but best practices differ for each type of equipment and lubricant. For example, monitoring oil condition in a steam turbine may result in a recommendation to top-off, or sweeten, the oil rather than change it to maximize the drain interval.

Extend Equipment Life

Monitoring system cleanliness and filtration efficiency can help you keep your equipment longer and significantly reduce replacement costs.
