LubeWatch Oil Analysis Program

The lubricants in your systems hold many clues about conditions that can cause premature wear, shorter oil life and even potential failures. LubeWatch® Oil Analysis allows you to monitor, detect and correct these issues, to help you maximise uptime and extend equipment life.

Improve your operation with our expertise

LubeWatch utilises advanced laboratory processes to test your oil. It often detects issues before it results in costly downtime. Our experts will help you use the program to its fullest to make a real difference in your operation. We will guide you in setting objectives and choosing the right test packages to meet them. Results come back quickly and are interpreted reliably, specially tailored to your preferences, with recommendations you can act on immediately.

Improve uptime multiple ways

Oil analysis is best used as part of a preventive maintenance program that utilises multiple tools and procedures to optimise uptime. We can help you implement this program with the right elements, such as condition monitoring software that allows you to track trends in lubricants and equipment and use the data to set drain intervals and other maintenance. We can also source other diagnostic services such as vibration analysis, infrared scanning and borescoping to help you pinpoint and mitigate potential problems.

Standard Test Packages and Specialty Tests

LubeWatch® simplifies the process of testing by creating standard test packages for frequent, typical applications. The five test packages for standard, used oil analysis are:

C1 Lubrication — Basic*
C2 Diesel Crankcase*
C3 Natural Gas*
C4 Industrial Oils*
C5 Turbine Oils

* For all paper machine oils and any oils in which free water is detected—run % water by Karl Fisher (D1744)
