The filter is considered the chronological "data bank" of a component trapping wear metals and contaminants over a period of time thereby retaining both present and past failure mode indicators. Filter analysis combined with standard oil analysis can render a more accurate reflection of the internal condition of your equipment.

Fluid Life does a thorough inspection and assessment to determine wear metal contamination and can provide customers with a digital photograph that is available instantly through myLab or transferred to your WinRoast database. It is another valuable and proactive method of determining the source of debris contamination and assists the customer in making informed decisions concerning maintenance strategies. Providing our customers with the most accurate and applicable full filter analysis results is a standard part of our quality policy.

A careful visual examination of the filtration element by a professional can yield useful information. Disassembling and testing the used filtration element provides useful indicators to the condition of the system from which it was removed. An experienced technician can determine through visual clues and analysis data a plausible assessment of internal conditions in your engine or mechanical component.

A full filter analysis provides comprehensive information on large particles within a system trapped by the filter element. Fluid Life looks at what type of debris is present in the filter, as well as what may be causing the debris generation.
