SCHEDULED OIL SAMPLING (SOS) 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.

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
