New
Canadian OAI Lab
OIL ANALYZERS INC. (OAI) will perform Canadian
oil analysis at a new laboratory in Edmonton,
Alberta providing significant benefits for Canadian
customers:
- Because the
testing kits are shipped from Edmonton,
customers receive them much sooner.
- Because
customers no longer have to ship samples across
the US border, they receive their results much
sooner.
- Once the lab
receives the sample, turnaround time for results
is 24-48 hours.
- Sample status
can be tracked instantly at
www.trackmysample.com.
- Customers
receive reports instantly through fax, e-mail or
online look-up.
- Customers can
trend samples for an individual unit or entire
fleet on the HORIZON sample management software.
- OAI also offers
advanced coolant testing at the Canadian lab.

The Sampling Process
Trend Analysis
A single sampling analysis is useful in providing
information when critical failure conditions exist.
However, trend analysis is a better tool for
estimating the useful life or overall condition of
your engine or equipment. Trend analysis samples are
taken and analyzed at regularly scheduled intervals.
Comparing the most recent analysis to previous
reports on a given machine shows the development of
trends. Monitoring these trends enables early
detection of internal abnormalities. Tested values
falling within acceptable limits may show a pattern
of subtle variance, which could signal a developing
problem.
Machines
of the same type will accumulate contaminants and
wear at different rates. Performing trend analysis
on each machine is the most effective method of
giving you an internal look at your equipment and
enabling you to deal with developing problems before
they become
catastrophic situations.
Sampling Frequency
The frequency of sample analysis from your equipment
depends on the machine type, machine application and
condition, operating environment and other
variables. For example, many machines that operate
in harsh environments, such as heavy equipment in
mining or construction, require short oil sampling
intervals - every 100 to 300 operating hours.
However, certain power transmission systems, such as
gearboxes and hydraulic systems used inside
manufacturing and production facilities, require no
more than quarterly sampling intervals. The
following table lists generic sampling frequencies
for common equipment types, and is provided as a
guideline only. Additional information is available
from Oil Analyzers Inc., your lubricant supplier,
and the equipment manufacturer.
Collecting a clean and representative oil sample is
critical to the oil analysis process. Put simply, an
oil analysis is only as good as the sample taken.
The accuracy and reliability of the data produced by
an analysis hinges on receiving a representative
sample from the equipment to be tested. To assure
that the sample extracted is representative of the
system, always follow proper sampling procedures. |
