Why Oil Condition Monitoring?
Oil Condition Monitoring is an essential tool for ensuring the health and longevity of critical machinery. By regularly analyzing lubricating oil, greases, and hydraulic fluids from different types of equipment such as turbines, compressors, engines and gearboxes, SGS helps businesses identify potential issues before they escalate into costly breakdowns or failures. This proactive approach not only minimizes downtime but also increases operational efficiency.
With its comprehensive OCM services, SGS Qatar offers clients accurate insights into the condition of their equipment. The lab's advanced testing techniques provide detailed reports on oil contamination levels, wear debris analysis, moisture content, viscosity changes, acidity, demulsibility, foaming properties and more.
Armed with this valuable information, asset integrity managers can make informed decisions about maintenance schedules, prevent potential failures and optimize their resources accordingly.
Overall, the analysis of lubricating oil, greases, and hydraulic fluids is an essential tool in ensuring the reliability and longevity of critical machines. By providing a fast and accurate picture of what is happening inside these machines, it enables proactive maintenance and helps prevent costly failures.
Our OCM lab in Qatar delivers high-quality, full-service analysis of lubricating oil, transformer oil fuel, grease, coolants and other maintenance fluids. We are proud to assist customers in reducing costs, increasing productivity, avoiding equipment downtime and extending equipment life.
