Oil Analysis
Sealsify offers early warning for bearing failure and detects issues related to over- and under-lubrication.
Oil analysis involves the laboratory examination of a lubricant's properties, contaminants, and wear debris. Conducted as part of routine predictive maintenance, oil analysis provides accurate and actionable insights into both lubricant and machine conditions. By monitoring and analyzing oil sample results throughout a machine's life, trends can be identified to help prevent costly repairs. Early detection of contaminants such as water and wear debris can extend equipment lifespan, enhance overall plant performance, and boost profitability.
Oil analysis evaluates the condition of lubricating oil in mechanical seals and pumps to ensure reliable operation and prevent failures. It involves examining oil for:
Lubricant Quality: Checks viscosity, oxidation, and contamination levels.
Contaminants: Identifies particles, water, and chemicals that could affect performance.
Wear Debris: Detects signs of wear or damage in seals and pump components.
Benefits:
Early Problem Detection: Provides warnings of potential issues before they cause failures.
Extended Equipment Life: Helps in scheduling maintenance, reducing downtime.
Improved Efficiency: Ensures optimal performance and smooth operation.
In summary, oil analysis helps maintain and extend the life of mechanical seals and pumps by monitoring oil condition and identifying potential issues early.
