Mineral Oil Analysis

Mineral oil analysis is to ensure the highest machine performance and the safety of your products by checking the condition and contamination level of the oil you use.

Based on the data obtained from the Mineral Oil Analysis results, certain criteria are established and equipment with critical levels is determined.

How Long Should the Mineral Oil Analysis Take?

At the stage of monitoring the condition of your machines where you use mineral oil, analyzes should be made at least every six months to create an information database.

Every Mineral Oil should have a log, that is, the system, in which your analysis results are recorded.

The logbook should also contain information on oil type, oil change, separation, target ISO class code and oil analysis results.

What are the Minimum Parameters to be Considered in Mineral Oil Analysis?

At least one oil analysis should include:

Number of Particles
Water content (in ppm)
Viscosity
Acid level (TAN)
Determination of Additive Elements, Wear Metals and Pollutant Amounts
