We strive to:
DELIVER PREDICTABILITY.
WHERE (& WHEN) IT MATTERS MOST.

We’re a dynamic and innovative team of condition monitoring and reliability professionals. Independently owned and operated for 40 years, Fluid Life continues to grow and services customers throughout North America, employing over 100 people across four locations in Canada and the United States.

Historically, we focused primarily on equipment fluid analysis, using laboratory services to analyze lubricants, coolants, fuels, filters and specialty fluids used in asset intensive industries.  We’ve built on our analysis capabilities to include reliability services providing expert evaluation of test results, professional advice for corrective actions, prompt follow-up and tracking of financial results.
