Oil Analysis

Evaluating the condition of your oil can provide critical information regarding the condition of your asset without costly teardowns or unnecessary lubricant changes. This can reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of your assets.

Oil Analysis is conducted to identify the properties essential to transformer oils and provide a more accurate assessment of their condition.

Sample testing can include:

  • Dielectric strength
  • Acidity
  • Interfacial tension
  • Color
  • Sediment
  • Dissolved gas analysis
  • Dissolved water in oil analysis
Benefits

 

Oil analysis enables you to:

  • Reduce maintenance costs by establishing safe and effective drain
  • Ensure maximum equipment life by preventing premature failure
  • Identify potential problems before they negatively impact your business
  • Help reduce lubricant and disposal costs
Scope

 

When transformer oil deteriorates, sludge ultimately forms and coats the windings resulting in decreased cooling capacity and degradation of the solid insulation system. Proper oil analysis is critical in determining the operating efficiency of a transformer.
