Oil Analysis Program

Protect your investment

Oil that has reached the end of its useful life can be depleted of additives and can actually harm your equipment components.

Oil condition testing

All equipment’s lubricated systems’ oil can be tested - engines, hydraulics, transmissions and differentials
Metal analysis
Oil condition
Viscosity
Antifreeze and fuel detection
Water contamination
Wear particles
Other internal and external contaminants

Oil contamination testing

Methods developed by ASTM International Methods - together with Caterpillar
Evaluation of machine components
FTIR analysis to validate the quality and success of a conversion to biodegradable oil
Certification developed by Toromont to test biodegradable oils

BENEFITS OF OIL ANALYSIS

Machine lifespan

Enhance machine & lubricant lifespan

Contamination detection

Detect early signs of contamination or degradation

Increase productivity

Improve productivity & machine reliability

WEAR RATE ANALYSIS

Detects the amount and type of wear metal elements present
- When samples are taken at regular intervals these elements can be trended to often spot the onset of a progression towards failure
- When classic wear element combinations are observed the source of rapid wear can often be determined
Monitors elements such as silicon that indicate dirt entry into the system Monitors certain additive levels in the oil

OIL CLEANLINESS ANALYSIS

70% of hydraulic system failures are caused by some form of contaminant
Particle count analysis is used to detect metallic and non-metallic impurities in oil such as friction disc material or contamination, that are otherwise undetectable
Combined with wear rate analysis this provides a more comprehensive evaluation of hydraulic and power train component health

OIL CONDITION ANALYSIS

Determines lubrication properties of your oil.
Infrared analysis is used to test for soot, sulphation, oxidation and nitration, determines the extent of oil deterioration and if your oil is performing to spec

DETECTION OF FUEL, WATER & GLYCOL

Fluid contaminants can degrade oil performance rapidly and are often signs of problems elsewhere that could require immediate attention

VISCOSITY

Is a measure of your oil’s lubricity, or its ability to lubricate your machine’s internal moving parts

ADDITIONAL TESTS

TAN (Total Acid Number)
Is a measure of the build-up of acidic by-products in your oil which can lead to corrosion and premature wear of internal metallic components
TBN (Total Base Number)
Is a measure of your oil’s alkalinity reserve and its’ ability to neutralize acidic contaminants and preventing corrosion
Both TAN and TBN numbers can help to indicate when your oil should be changed

THE TOROMONT ADVANTAGE

The Toromont Fluid Analysis Team doesn't just focus on the condition of your oil, we also focus on the condition of your equipment.

OUR PROCESS

At Toromont Fluid Analysis we offer a service customized to your needs. Dealing with us is as easy as you'd like it to be.

ONLINE REPORTING

Maximize equipment life and productivity, while minimizing operating costs and downtime.

OIL ANALYSIS PROGRAM

We monitor your oil with methods developed by Caterpillar and designed to evaluate the condition of your machine components, not just the condition of your oil.

Cooling system problems contribute to more than 50% of all engine related failures. Diesel engines produce a tremendous amount of power and heat that must be dissipated to keep your engine running properly.

DIESEL FUEL ANALYSIS PROGRAM

It is an assessment of the general condition of the fuel. Poor fuel can cause poor combustion, premature fouling, corrosion, and problems with injectors.
