Used oil analysis (UOA) has transformed maintenance strategies across power plants, steel mills, and manufacturing facilities. By analyzing wear metals, viscosity changes, contamination levels, and additive depletion in lubricating oils, maintenance teams can predict failures weeks or months before they occur.
Our ICP-OES wear metal analysis detects iron, copper, lead, and other elements at ppm levels, while particle counting per ISO 4406 monitors hydraulic system cleanliness. Trend analysis over successive samples reveals developing problems such as bearing wear, coolant leaks, or filter bypass.
Implementing a UOA program with Enablyst Labs typically reduces unplanned downtime by 30-50% and extends oil change intervals, delivering significant cost savings. We offer sample kits, pickup services, and diagnostic reports with actionable recommendations.
