Oil Analysis Without Particle Counting?
David Davies, Maintenance Supervisor, Orica
In the first instance I would send samples to another Lab for
verification. Suggest another method of testing ie [Pore blockage]
as optical is not necessarily suitable on all applications. Given
the fact that the equipment is "Critical" and the cost of the
test is negligible [Repair/Down time] and that system problems
can arise at any time, I would continue to do the tests on a regular
basis with the idea of extending the test intervals once other
test methods and 3rd party lab prove the cleanliness levels.
