Data on the condition of equipment, contamination, and the physical properties of lubricants are generated through the most sophisticated analysis procedures.
Shell LubeAnalyst uses only state-of-the art laboratory and data processing equipment to perform its testing.
Shell LubeAnalyst cornerstones its services with
spectrochemical analysis of 21 metallic elements that may be present in your lubricants and fluids. These elements identify wear corrosion and wear metals, dirt contamination, coolant additives and oil additives. The oil additives are part of the manufacturing process to ensure proper use and the protection of equipment and systems.
A full complement of testing measures the
physical properties of lubricants and fluids.
Viscosity, total acid number (TAN), and water content are customarily measured. Tests for fuel dilution, Total Base Number (TBN),
LEMŽ soot measurement, oxidation and nitration, may also be recommended and performed on a regular basis.
Depending on your program requirements and system applications, Shell LubeAnalyst also can perform testing for particle count analysis, Ferrography, dissolved gas analysis, RBOT testing, and many more sophisticated analytical procedures.
