Pump oil analysis is necessary to reduce wear of the pumps. Pumps are used in fleet and industrial applications for moving gases and liquids. A majority of the pumps employed in industrial applications are either centrifugal or positive displacement.
Hydraulic systems are employed in aviation, mobile, and industrial applications for transmitting power to run equipment. Hydraulic oil analysis is essential to reduce wear of hydraulic systems.
Compressed air is regarded as the fourth utility after water, power and fuel (natural gas), and generally the one that all customers should generate and offer themselves. Compressor oil analysis is necessary to reduce wear in compressor systems.
