oxidation.

Spectrographic Analysis - wear metal and contaminant levels are displayed

Wear metals indicate wear on particular components of an individual Unit in comparison with new oil

Patch Test / Contamination Photo The particulate contaminants are separated by pulling the fluid through a membrane using a vacuum pump. The patch test provides valuable visual evidence of the contamination in
the oil and used to estimate the ISO code for water glycol samples.
