Oil & Fuel Analysis
Find out if your oil or fuel is contaminated. This process is
proving to be very cost effective & has even predicted imminent
component failure in some cases. Our laboratory analysis service
produces a detailed report on the condition of the existing oil,
often indicating that the oil need not be changed.
Determine root cause of failure using our Oil Sample Laboratory
Analysis service. Analysis by microscope can be used to identify
how a unit has failed. Is your fuel causing problems, compare
against BS EN 590 specification.
