Venture Machine Diagnostics employs Insight Oil Analysis labs to view machinery oil comprehensively. Oil is vital to any rotating machine, providing lubrication, cooling, cleaning, sealant, and protection. Oil analysis as a predictive maintenance technology provides exclusive information that will alert to the onset of contamination, oil deterioration, and mechanical wear. Insight Services, Inc. offers a wide variety of fluid testing, including:
- Spectroscopic Analysis (ppm) ASTM D5185
- Viscosity (centistokes) ASTM D445
- FTIR Spectroscopy (indexing numbers) Joap Method
- Particle Count (Particles per ml) ISO 4406:99
- Single component test
- Wear Particle Analysis Report
VMD will obtain oil samples in a fashion that can easily be repeated so that consistent oil samples can be analyzed. This will ensure the repeatability and effectiveness of the oil analysis program. Insight Oil Analysis laboratories will generate reports that will be provided to the customer in conjunction with other predictive maintenance reports.
