Oil Analysis Programs

New Program Development/ Existing Program Evaluation/ Results Interpretation

Oil analysis plays a critical role in the protection of valuable equipment by providing diagnostic testing to evaluate lubricant condition, component wear, and contamination in mobile and industrial applications. As part of a maintenance reliability program, targeted oil analysis testing provides application-specific information resulting in accurate key performance indicators. 

While there are a substantial number of laboratories that offer various oil analysis services, not all are equally up to the task.

TFP & Associates has nearly thirty years’ experience in working with plant maintenance personnel on maintenance reliability and oil analysis implementation.  We can evaluate your current program and help you create the most efficient program to maximize uptime, minimize downtime, and generate profits.

Maximizing Drain Intervals

• Monitoring the condition of the oil allows you to optimize drain intervals so that you can capitalize on the fluid’s full-service life. Performing fewer oil changes minimizes maintenance costs and maximizes uptime.

Preventing Major Downtime

• Your oil analysis program should provide analysis that identifies dirt, wear particles, fuel dilution, coolant, and other contaminants that can cause catastrophic failure — causing expensive downtime or significantly shortening equipment life.

Maximizing Asset Reliability

• As part of a maintenance reliability program, testing and analysis ensure that equipment is up, running, and making money.

Extending Equipment Life

• Monitoring system cleanliness and filtration efficiency will enhance equipment life and significantly reduce replacement costs

Setting Program Targets and Goals

• Setting program goals is paramount to a successful maintenance reliability program. Doing so ensures that you are collecting the approprioate data to meet your requirements and measure your progress.
