Gear Oil Analysis Kit

Gear Oils are essential for optimal performance under heavy loads, providing vital lubrication to crucial components. Our gear oil analysis service plays a crucial role in monitoring gearboxes, differentials, final drives, and planetaries, focusing on key aspects such as wear and contamination levels to prevent increased component wear. International buyers are responsible for the charges on postage back to the UK for analysis.

In cases of potential gearbox failures, our oil testing can aid in identifying the root cause of the issue.

Main Testing Suites includes:

• Wear debris analysis – Full spectrographic analysis is to evaluate potential wear metals, monitor levels, and ensure oil additive levels are maintained. It also detects contaminants like Boron, Sodium, and Silicon that may have entered the system.
• Total ferrous debris is the measurement to monitor magnetic wear particles, regardless of size.
• Karl Fisher Water Count, utilising the K.Fisher water test to detect any water that may have entered.
• Oil viscosity at 40 °C, ensuring the oil meets lubrication and heat transfer requirements vital for gear systems.

ISO testing (Cleanliness Count) Optional Extra

• ISO particle count – Oil cleanliness levels, assessed through the ISO 4406 particle count, a crucial factor in testing your gear oils (ADDITIONAL CHARGE)
