Combining Oil Analysis Tests to Identify the Root Cause of Machine Failures

The importance of selecting the correct test to analyze the performance of a piece of equipment cannot be isolated to a specific test; it requires the combination of two or more tests or a group of tests depending on the activity of the selected equipment in the production process. In order to keep the unit in the field, it is necessary to avoid constant failures and downtime due to corrective maintenance or in a worst-case scenario, the replacement of the unit as a consequence of a catastrophic failure.
