    OIL ANALYSIS
    Definition
    Oil analysis (also called oil testing) is the laboratory analysis of a lubricant’s
    properties, suspended contaminants, and wears debris. It is a routine activity for analyzing oil
    health, oil contamination and machine wear. The purpose of an analysis program is to verify that
    a lubricated machine is operating according to expectation.

    Oil analysis is performed during routine predictive maintenance to provide meaningful


    and accurate information on lubricant and machine condition. By tracking oil analysis sample
    results over the life of a particular machine, trends can be established which can help eliminate
    costly repairs.

    Oil analysis can be divided into three categories:

    1) Analysis of oil properties including those of the base oil and its additives
    2) Analysis of contaminants
    3) Analysis of wear debris from machinery

    Methods of Oil Analysis

     Viscosity by ASTM D 445: Indicates changes in fluid’s resistance to flow.


    Viscosity results can indicate either physical changes or contamination by other
    fluids.

     Oxidation by FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer): Identifies


    harmful by products of thermal degradation. Lubrication oxidation represents a
    physical change.

     Nitration by FTIR: identifies the by-products of unburned fuel. This is also


    contamination.

     Water by FTIR/Hot Plate/Karl Fischer ASTM D1744: Identifies the presence


    of water, a common and potentially harmful fluid contaminant that can accelerate
    physical lubricant change and rapid degrade metal surfaces.

     Total Acid Number (TAN) by ASTM D 664: measures/identifies acid by


    products of oxidation and contamination. TAN is a physical change.
     Fuel Dilution by Gas Chromatography: identifies the presence of fuel, another
    contaminant.

     Elementary Analysis by ICP( Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy):


    Identifies both additive and wear debris metals.

     Total Base Number (TBN) by ASTM 4739: Identifies acid neutralizing


    capacity. This is a physical lubricant change.

     ISO Particle Count: Identifies the size and amount of solid contaminants.

    Procedure of Execution of Oil Analysis


    Step 1: Commit to an oil analysis program

    Step 2: Develop a baseline of the current oil condition, equipment failures and
    reliability within the plan, which is needed to measure progress

    Step 3: Select an oil analysis laboratory

    Step 4: Analyze oil analysis equipment

    Step 5: Select the test slate

    Step 6: Oil sampling guidelines: this step covers how to physically acquire the oil
    samples and the related decisions that need to be addressed.

    Step 7: Analysis and results

    Step 8: Interpreting oil analysis results

    Step 9: Tracking the performance

    Practical Examples
    They include:

    - Hydraulic oil analysis


    - Gear oil analysis
    - Engine oil analysis
    - Transmission oil analysis
    - Turbine oil analysis
    - Stern tube oil analysis
