Lubricant Information

Varnish Information
Varnish
Varnish from Lubricant degradation is currently the leading cause of power plant shutdown problems. Its source and removal are of major concern to all industries.
Electrostatic Spark Discharge (ESD), Flow Electrification
When clean, dry oil rapidly flows through tight clearances, internal friction within the oil can generate static electricity. The static electricity can accumulate and release a spark within the lubricant.
Analyses
The objective of a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is to identify what happened, why it happened, and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. Oil Analysis can be an excellent tool for fluid degradation RCA
Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
An infrared analysis has the capability of determining several chemical and physical properties about a lubricant in a single analysis.
Lube Analyses
To properly understand the properties of a lubricant, a number of analytical tools are needed. There tools are then pulled together into the complete lubricant picture.
