Oil Analysis is one of the most cost effective predictive maintenance techniques
available today. Oil analysis will detect the presence of wear in gearboxes 60 to
90 days prior to vibration.
Oil samples are taken from critical gear units and analyzed for viscosity, oil degradation,
oil contamination and wear using CSI model 5100-1 portable oil analyzer. The test
results are stored and trended in the same manner as the vibration analysis data.
