RS Components now offers customers the RS PRO Oil Analysis Kit, which allows customers to send their oil to a lab for testing and get quick feedback on the condition of their oil.
Targeted at maintenance, health and safety professionals, as well as store managers, these tools extend the life of assets by managing lubrication, as regular oil analysis is a valuable indicator of potential problems in mechanical systems.
An ongoing series of tests records trends in wear, contamination and lubricant chemistry. As such, it can provide real insight into possible problems before they develop into something more serious. While a simple detailed analysis of oil samples can be a valuable preventive maintenance tool, it is increasingly valuable as part of ongoing projects.
The toolkit provides customers with an easy-to-use way to collect oil samples in use and return them to their laboratories, including a comprehensive, quality-assured analysis conducted by a team of ICML certified Oil Laboratory chemists. Fast turnaround is guaranteed at competitive prices and results are available within three business days of receipt from the laboratory. Tests include visual inspection, elemental analysis, water content, ferrous metal fragments and particle counts. Among the services offered by the company, customers can take oil samples and send them to an in-house laboratory.
Industries targeted for the plant include food and beverage processing, utilities, manufacturing and processing, transport (such as shipping and rail), heavy industry, power generation and mining.
