RS PRO 10 Units Oil Test Kit and Box Analysis Service for Automotive, Industrial Machinery, Manufacturing, Marine

RS PRO Oil Test Kit and Analysis Service

Introducing the RS PRO Oil Test Kit – a high quality and easy to use oil testing kit that can be used to monitor the condition of lubricating oil, especially as part of preventative maintenance, and reducing unwanted and costly downtime. Operating in accordance with the universal ASTM and ISO standards, a convenient oil, fluid, and specialist analysis testing service is included for our customers in the UK.
It is known that poor or inadequate lubrication is the primary cause of 70% of industrial equipment failures*, and by using the RS PRO oil analysis service, the condition and contents of the lubricating oil can easily and reliably be identified before it becomes a serious issue that could result in unwanted downtime. The RS PRO oil sampling kit and testing service can identify issues like:
<li>Adverse mechanical wear</li>
<li>Oil health</li>
<li>Moisture ingress</li>
<li>Lubricant contamination</li>

What service is included with this kit from RS PRO?

• Alongside the tools and contents to perform an easy fluid sample extraction, we also provide:
• Full testing and analysis from our ASTM and ISO certified laboratory and support from our in-house lab chemists and experts in analytical chemistry and lubricant condition monitoring
• We look at the fluid properties like viscosity, contamination, and wear debris to determine any wear issues or leaks within the machinery
• Once the analysis is complete, a clear report is issued to help you make the most of the results to help maintain and troubleshoot the reliability of your machines

How does this help me?

• By providing a testing service, unscheduled and costly downtime can be minimised or avoided, either as part of a single test and analysis exercise or an ongoing lubricant monitoring programme
• In turn, this can reduce repair and change out expenses, while improving productivity and maximising output by extending the life of your equipment
• Long term preventative maintenance monitoring can increase cost savings and profits while feeding data that can contribute to trend identification and rectifying potential problems before they become more serious and costly issues

The RS Pro oil test kit is a high quality and easy to use oil testing kit that can be used to monitor the condition of oil and other lubricants in machinery, especially as part of preventative maintenance, and reducing unwanted and costly downtime. The box contains 10 sample and analysis test kits.

Where would oil and lubricant analysis be required?

• It operates in accordance with universal ASTM and ISO standards

What is the process?

• The fluid sample is extracted using the kit
• The oil sample pot is posted to the lab in a pre-paid envelope
• The RS PRO Lab analyses samples
• The data is reviewed and interpreted, and the final analysis report is compiled and then returned to the customer within 3 working days of receipt of the sample by our laboratory

What do the standard tests include?

• The standard tests in this offer include:
• Visual Inspection - Visually review colour, haziness, suspended solids and layering
• Elemental Analysis by ICP-OES - Spectral analysis to determine wear metals, additives, contaminants and more
• Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C - Identify grade mismatches, thermal degradation and additive
• AN (Acid Number) - Determines acidity and oxidation
• Water Content - Assess degree of moisture ingress from water
• Ferrous debris (PQ) - Gives an overview of iron-based content
• Particle Count (ISO4406) - Cleanliness of the oil (hydraulic systems only)

What does the kit contain?

• The kit provides everything you need to collect up to 10 in-service oil samples and return to our laboratory, including full analysis and reporting. One box is made up of 10 units for oil sampling and analysis.
• Each RS PRO oil analysis kit contains:
• 10 x 20 ml plastic syringe
• 10 x 80 ml sample pot
• 10 x sample pot label
• 10 x 0.5 m clear PVC hose
• 10 x resealable clear bag
• 10 x return envelope
• 10 x return label
