Information submitted with a sample is as important to who will receive the report as it is to the analyst who will interpret the test results and make recommendations. Properly document your equipment and share this knowledge with the laboratory. Implement a sampling process for every piece of equipment in your Fluid Analysis program that can be followed consistently each time the unit is sampled. Note the difference between the Date Sampled and the Date issues may point to storing samples too long before shipping or shipping service problems. Also noted is testing Date Completed. identify metallurgies...

A data analyst's job is to explain and, if necessary, recommend actions for rectifying significant changes in the lubricant or the unit's condition. Reviewing the comments before looking at the actual test results will provide a road map to the report's most important information. Any actions that need to be taken are listed first, in order of severity. Justifications for recommending those actions immediately follow.

Elemental Analysis Elemental Analysis, or Spectroscopy, identifies the type and amount of wear particles, contamination and oil additives. Determining metal content can alert you to the type and severity of wear occurring in the unit. Measurements are expressed in parts per million (ppm). Combinations of these Wear Metals can identify components within the machine that are wearing. Knowing what metals a unit is made of can greatly influence an analyst’s recommendations and determine the value of elemental analysis. Knowledge of the environmental conditions under which a unit operates can explain...
