PALLSCOPE Fluid Analysis can be the single most effective tool to monitor the health of your lube and hydraulic systems as well as engines.

 

PALLSCOPE hydraulic and industrial fluid analysis should be a key component in your comprehensive preventative maintenance program, providing you with the trend data necessary to make informed decisions about repair, rebuild, or replacement of critical machinery. PALLSCOPE data can also be used to set fluid change intervals.

Why Monitor?

Modern industrial equipment is more demanding than ever, and requires clean lubricants to maintain proper operation. Tolerances are tighter, pressures and temperatures are higher, and continuous operation without failure is demanded. Reliability centered maintenance programs require monitoring the condition of critical fluid systems. In order to monitor fluid condition, a fluid analysis program.

Getting Started

To start a PALLSCOPE Fluid Analysis program with your company, simply contact you Pall representative. We can provide assistance and training on sampling methods and locations, recommended sampling frequency, and interpretation of the results. 

 

Using PALLSCOPE Fluid Analysis is as simple as 1-2-3…

  1. Simply take a sample in one of our prepaid sample kits and mail it to our laboratory in the pre-addressed mailer
  2. Our modern laboratory will conduct the industrial or hydraulic fluid analysis and develop specific comments and recommendations.
  3. A complete report is sent immediately by e-mail and a link is provided for the complete web-based data.

 

 

Important: The quality of your oil analysis can only be as good as the quality of your sample. It is critical to take a sample that is representative of the fluid contained in your system. For a discussion of proper sampling procedures, visit our website click see How to Take a Fluid Sample. 

 

In order for our experts to properly interpret the condition of your fluid, and make specific comments or recommendations, it is important to fill in as much of the sample submittal form as possible. A detailed form is required to register a particular machine or system the first time a sample is taken. Future samples from that system can simply be identified with your company name, the system number and date.
