What is Industrial Fluid Analysis?

Industrial fluid analysis is the study of lubricants, coolants, fuels and specialty fluids. Specifically, industrial fluid analysis determines if a lubricant or coolant’s respective properties are functioning properly. Analysis also looks for any indication of contamination as well as an examination of wear debris within the fluid. Industrial fluid analysis quantifies these physical properties and offers the user a window into those conditions on a ongoing basis.

Why should I consider using Industrial Fluid Analysis?

Regular fluid analysis is the most proactive approach to preventing equipment breakdown and loss of operating revenue.

Industrial fluid analysis provides users with the information required to help increase

  • equipment reliability
  • equipment performance
  • profits

Industrial fluid analysis provides users with the information required to help decrease

  • costly downtime
  • maintenance costs
  • poor performance
  • fluid consumption

By discovering small problem areas before they become larger ones, industrial fluid analysis allows maintenance professionals to respond through better scheduling of preventative maintenance measures and practices. Ultimately, industrial fluid analysis improves quality control by reducing downtime, which contributes to healthier profits.

What sets Fluid Life apart?

Fluid Life isn’t just a lab, we are a reliability solution centre that can help improve your bottom line by implementing a total lubrication management program for your operation.

Total Lubrication Management (TLM)

Our TLM program is a cradle to grave approach that begins with initial program design and implementation, progresses to training and software installation, provides sample kits and related hardware and ends with a discussion of sample results. Your Fluid Life regional account manager guides you through the process and one of our modern labs looks after the rest. The Fluid Life Quality Policy is integral to the effectiveness of the (TLM) and will be applied at every level of the overall process.
