Comprehensive Oil Testing Services by Petropec

Ensuring Performance, Longevity & Efficiency of Your Lubricants

Oil plays a crucial role in the performance and longevity of industrial machinery, automotive engines, and hydraulic systems. Over time, contaminants, oxidation, and wear debris can compromise oil efficiency, leading to equipment failure, costly downtime, and reduced productivity. Petropec provides advanced oil testing services to help businesses maintain optimal lubricant performance, prevent failures, and maximize operational efficiency.


Why Oil Testing is Essential?

Regular oil testing is a proactive maintenance strategy that helps:

  • Detect early signs of wear & contamination before significant damage occurs.

  • Optimize lubricant life by assessing degradation and oxidation levels.

  • Improve operational efficiency by ensuring the right oil condition for machinery.

  • Reduce maintenance costs & downtime through predictive maintenance.

  • Enhance environmental compliance by reducing waste and oil disposal frequency.


Our Comprehensive Oil Testing Services

Petropec offers a full spectrum of oil analysis and diagnostic services, including:

1. Viscosity Analysis

Viscosity is a key parameter in lubricant performance. We measure the oil’s viscosity to ensure it remains within optimal operating ranges, preventing wear and energy inefficiencies.

2. Spectroscopic Analysis

We utilize ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) Spectroscopy to detect metal particles, additives, and contaminants in the oil, identifying potential component wear and lubricant depletion.

3. Total Acid Number (TAN) & Total Base Number (TBN) Testing

  • TAN Testing: Determines oil acidity levels, crucial for preventing corrosion in industrial and automotive applications.

  • TBN Testing: Measures the oil’s ability to neutralize acidic contaminants, ensuring prolonged lubricant effectiveness.

4. Water Contamination & Moisture Analysis

Excess moisture can lead to corrosion, oxidation, and oil degradation. Our Karl Fischer titration method accurately measures water content in lubricants to prevent failures.

5. Particle Count Analysis

Clean oil is essential for smooth machinery operation. Our particle count analysis assesses oil cleanliness to ensure compliance with ISO 4406 cleanliness standards.

6. Flash Point Testing

This test determines the oil’s volatility and fire risk, ensuring compliance with safety regulations in high-temperature applications.

7. Oxidation & Nitration Testing

These tests assess oil degradation due to excessive heat and contamination, crucial for industries relying on hydraulic, turbine, and compressor oils.

8. Foaming Characteristics & Air Release Testing

Excessive foaming can impact oil lubrication and cooling efficiency. Our tests evaluate foam stability and air release properties to maintain optimal performance.

9. Fuel Dilution & Soot Contamination Testing

Particularly important for engine oils, this test helps detect unburnt fuel contamination and soot buildup, ensuring engine efficiency and longevity.

10. Pour Point & Cold Flow Testing

Cold weather conditions impact oil flow properties. Our testing ensures the oil maintains optimal lubrication under low-temperature conditions.
