Oil Analysis - WearCheck

1 Condition Monitoring AnalysisThe Analysis of used oil adds value to an operation by servingas a cost-reducing predictive maintenance tool for any oil-wetted concept of analysing an oil sample from a machine orcomponent is similar to that of taking a blood sample from ahuman body - the results determine the health status of theunit. WearCheck s experienced diagnostic team thenrecommends how to rectify any abnormal who invest in WearCheck s oil Analysis service havereported a return-on-investment ratio of approximately 1:10,with massive savings added to the bottom line through theearly detection of component wear, which in turn avoids costly,unscheduled Office9 Le Mans Place, Westmead, KZN, 3610PO Box 15108, Westmead, KZN, 3608 South Africat +27 (0) 31 700 5460f +27 (0) 31 700 5471e (0) 11 392 6322 Cape Town+27 (0) 21 531 4540 Port Elizabeth+27 (0) 41 360 1535 East London+27 (0) 82 290 6684 Rustenburg+27 (0) 14 596 5706 Middelburg+27 (0) 13 246 2966 Steelpoort +27 (0) 13 230 9929 Zambia+260 (0) 977 622287 UAE +971 (0) 55 221 6671 India+91 (0)

3 To monitor the health of the oil2. to monitor the health of the machine being lubricated by the oil3. to measure levels of contamination SABS | ISO 9001 | ISO 14001 SANS 17025 Quality Form ds61 | Revision Date: December 2014 Condition Monitoring AnalysisSave MoneyOil Analysis is a predictive maintenancetool inthat it can reduce the severity offailures and allows maintenanceactivities to bescheduled. It is also aproactive maintenance technique whichpermitsthe reduction of failure ratesand operating ultimate goal of oil analysisis to reduce operating costsand to save , how does it do this?

4 Detection of abnormal wear. Detection of oil degradation. Detection of oil/componentcontamination. Detection of impending failures. Verification of the oil in use. Optimising service intervals. Avoiding unnecessary overhauls. Avoiding loss of production..and, ultimately, thereby saving reducing unscheduled downtime, oilanalysis increases the availability ofmachinery, improving productivity andsaving of Oil AnalysisOn-site Sampling Service WearCheck offers an on-site sampling service for a wide variety of use on mobile equipment such as earthmoving machines, trucks, buses, lightvehicles and use on all components of mining equipment, including drills x, y, z.

5 WearCheckoffers a specialised underground sampling service, where trained technicianswill take samples from mining machinery on-site, which they access using aspecially-modified is performed on oil samples from components used in the generationand storage and transportation of electricity, such as transformers, tap changersand switch use on industrial gearboxes, hydraulics, compressors, pumps, turbines, heattransfer fluids, bearing compartments, air conditioning, recirculation andrefrigeration use on engines, generators, hydraulics, gearboxes and other kits are available for piston and turbine engines as well as hydraulicsystems and helicopter rotor testsThe exact tests carried out on a sample aredetermined by the type of machine, thecomponent and the type of tests are designed to measure applicablecombinations of the following: Wear metals Contaminants.
