Scheduled Oil Sampling (S.O.S.) alerts you to trouble so you can prevent costly equipment breakdowns and repair before failure. S.O.S. measures wear in specific components by determining the amount of wear particles in the oil from that component. An Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer accurately and consistently identifies the parts per million of wear elements in the oil being sampled. Elements that can be detected include iron, aluminum, silicon, copper and chromium. Other tests detect fuel dilution, water and anti-freeze, and measure viscosity. Under Carriage Rebuild
Sample data is recorded for each machine and each compartment sampled. Tests are completed and results available within 24 hours so that needed repairs can be scheduled before costly failures occur. Each report shows current sample data as well as previous data.
