An increase in Total Acid Number (TAN) was observed compared with previous results.

Depending on the lubricant type and application, a rising TAN may be associated with oil degradation or the accumulation of acidic compounds.

Reviewing the result alongside the lubricant history and other test data provides better context for maintenance decisions.

Grease analysis can prevent costly issues with equipment

Techenomics analyses grease for contamination issues...
Grease, like other lubricants, helps ensure smooth and efficient operation of mechanical equipment, and regular analysis of grease by Techenomics, Your Partner in Lubrication Reliability, ensures grease is free of contamination and doing the job it is designed to do.

If left unchecked any issues with grease can result in costly maintenance or even equipment failure.

As well as contamination, Techenomics independent and specialised service tests for wear debris and water content in grease, the same as it does for oil and other lubricants.

Soot levels increased compared with previous samples.

In diesel engines, elevated soot may be associated with changes in combustion, operating conditions, or engine performance.

Reviewing the trend alongside other oil analysis results helps determine whether further investigation is appropriate.

Turn to Techenomics for soot and sludge solutions

Build-up of sludge can cause damage to engines...
Soot is generated by incomplete combustion of fuel and is harmful to engines, particularly if left to accumulate, but Techenomics, Your Partner in Lubrication Reliability, has the solutions to prevent this from causing damage or even breakdown and impacting on productivity.

While many think that the soot escapes through exhaust systems, Techenomics CEO Chris Adsett said that just 29 per cent reached the atmosphere by way of the exhaust pipe with the majority being deposited on the cylinder walls piston crown with some captured in the engine oil filtration system.

He said with the soot retained in the engine, including in the lubricant, three per cent was attributable to blow-by gases and the remainder was from piston rings scraping away soot deposits in the cylinder with this material ending up in the sump.

Chromium levels were higher than previous results in this sample.

Depending on the equipment design and operating conditions, this may indicate changes in component condition.

Historical trends and supporting information help build a clearer interpretation.

Laboratory assessment identified changes in grease condition compared with previous submissions.

Depending on the application, changes in grease properties may influence lubrication performance and component protection.

Routine monitoring provides valuable information for maintenance planning.

Just as regular oil analysis helps keep machinery fit, reliable and performing at its best, regular health checks are equally important for our own health and wellbeing.

Recently, the Techenomics Australia team in Gunnedah participated in a free health check organised by the Rotary Club of NSW. It was a great local initiative promoting preventative healthcare and encouraging people to take a proactive approach to their wellbeing.

A change in ISO cleanliness was observed compared with previous samples.

Particle cleanliness trends provide valuable information about contamination control and system condition.

Monitoring changes over time helps identify developing issues early.
