CM Chemical Analysis (Standard Analysis)
We suggest the following standard tests for the various compartment types for establishing machine condition and contamination plus a full analysis of the oil to assess its condition. Information is supplied that can assist in variation to oil change intervals and determine machine condition for maintenance planning purposes . CM stands for "Condition Monitoring" which is our primary service.

Transmission
For
Transmission oils this schedule determines the level of oil cleanliness by
Particle Size Analysis and the degree of wear.

Hydraulics
For Hydraulic oils this schedule determines the level of oil
cleanliness by Particle Size Analysis to ISO 4406 standard and the degree of
wear.

Utilising
a microscope equipped with a digital camera, our condition monitoring
engineers can monitor the condition of your equipment and can provide a
very early indication of possible critical wear damage and help assess the
root cause of the failure. Sources of contamination can be quickly
identified and this technique is ideally suited for larger componentry as
it measures wear debris from 1-2,000um
in size as opposed to spectrographic analysis that can only measure small
particle wear up to 8um.
Ideal
for large field equipment such as Shovels or Draglines and critical fixed
plant such as turbine systems.
3. CM Chemical & Wear Debris Analysis
As detailed in sections 1 & 2 – this schedule is for critical plant items that require constant monitoring or for predictive preparation for maintenance shut downs. Typically used by large mining houses to monitor field equipment (draglines & shovels) or Power Stations.
