Gear Oil Testing
Dev Petro Chem R & D Centre is a leading service provider for Gear oil testing services. Gearboxes or Gear systems are needed to be checked for their proper functioning. Direct method for checking of the same is to check the gear oil for contamination, wearing analysis. The most expected concerns for contamination of gear oil are Dust, Dirt, Water and Wearing of metal components used. Dev Petro Chem R & D Centre analyses oil samples and helps customers overcome such problems by trending oil analysis data.
Gear Oils undergo rigorous stresses under application, hence should be monitored carefully for wearing of the machine. Analysing gear oils for wear metal analysis gives a direct idea on wear and tear of the component or the machine.
WHY GEAR OIL TESTING & ANALYSIS NECESSARY?
Regular oil testing and analysis will help to protect the equipment from excessive wear, detect issue and reduce maintenance cost.
Optimize mechanic’s work and time
Reduce unscheduled down time and machinery failures
Improve fuel efficiency
Improve machinery safety
Less fuel spending
