Lube Oil Testing- Customized oil analysis oracle based software

ARFS- A precise measure of wear metals, detected in wear mode sizes greater than 15 microns. Automated Rotrode Filter Spectroscopy (A-RFS) – This is a lubricant test method that utilizes the latest design in spectrometric analysis of wear debris particles. Elements associated with sliding, cutting and fatigue wear modes are detected and monitored. The method allows engineers to be alerted of early wear related issues so that it can be proactively resolved.


ARFS

  • Ruler- a precise measure of oxidation inhibitors in lube oil. This is the latest ASTM test in oxidation monitoring and trending of oxidation inhibitors that accurately determines the life of your oil so as to avoid detrimental oil degradation.
  • Vanish Testing- a precise measure of lube oil vanish potential

The above analyses and methods are offered routinely at our lab in Tallmadge, OH. There are a number of special analyses for new and in-service liquid and solid insulating materials that are offered at our laboratory and through strategic partnerships with other labs. Samples from overseas that may not be imported into the United States for analysis may be sent to S. D. Myers, Inc. Testing Laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Please contact your SDMI representative for further details regarding any of these analytical services.

Filtration services: Caribbean Analytical Services Ltd. offers the de-contamination of fluids with the emphasis on lube and insulating oils. We use specialized equipment with unique features to remove gases, moisture, water and solid particles. Through our filtration services, quick removal of contaminants from the oil is obtained, which enhances the life of the equipment and the oil itself. In turn, a company would benefit from increased reliability and mean time between failures.

Vanish Removal: Caribbean Analytical Services Ltd. utilizes patented processes by ISOPur to remove vanish from within systems. This is complemented by our in-house vanish potential capabilities. Using Balance Charge Agglomeration catastrophic vanish build up is removed. Balance Charge Agglomeration (BCA ®) – This technology has been developed, tried and tested to specifically remove vanish build-up within your equipment. This is similar to cholesterol in the human body where build-up of vanish can be catastrophic to your operation.

Lubrication Audits & Program Development: This is a partnered service through Noria Co-operation. Noria’s Lubrication Program Design service (LPD) offers a three-part action plan that can help you build a complete lubrication PM and PdM program from the ground up at a world class level.

The LPD Phase I includes benchmarking, planning and scoping of a lubrication program best suited for your facility, plus a cost benefit analysis. Phase II provides detailed program design and Phase III is the actual implementation of the recommendations made in Phases I and II. The LPD process results in the compilation of highly-customized task-based procedures for each asset complete with task specific details, and the oil analysis test procedures to use. (www.noria.com)
