Transformer Oil Testing
Trusted partner to Evaluate insulating oil condition, Extend equipment life, Reduce unscheduled downtime
Transformers are of larger investments for any company, so to be monitored to ensure that they are running efficiently and effectively with transformer condition-monitoring program. Our services adhere to IEC / IEEE guidelines and ASTM standards. Our chemist & field staff are trained and well experienced to meet industry standards with regular periodic trainings from world class international bodies.
We Test Various Insulating Oil Grades, Solid Insulations & Gases
- Mineral Insulating Oil
- Silicone Insulating Oil
- Solid Insulations used in Transformers
Our labs are equipped with highly sophisticated equipment GC-TOGA, HPLC, ICP & many other to assess both conventional and specialized insulating oils for Physical, chemical, Electrical performance test and contamination.
Standard Transformer Oil Screening Test Suite
Our baseline screening tests are crucial for monitoring operational safety and detecting faults early. We conduct:
- Color
- Moisture Content
- Total Acid Number (TAN)
- Interfacial Tension (IFT)
- Power Factor
- Breakdown Voltage (BDV)
- Dissipation Factor (DDF)
- Copper Corrosion
These parameters indicate the aging, oxidation, and moisture condition of the transformer oil.
Advanced Testing: Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) & Furanic
Compounds
TOGA-based DGA (Total Oil Gas Analysis) to identify incipient faults by detecting and quantifying gases dissolved in transformer oil. Further gives insights on the degree of cellulose insulation degradation. DGA is a vital test to determine condition assessment of Transformers
Furanic Test: Together with DGA, Furan Test determine the level of cellulose insulation degradation
Detection of corrosiveness inside Transformers & reason for it
- Covered Conductor Deposition (CCD Test)
- Dibenzyl Disulfide (DBDS) testing
These are critical for preventing equipment failure due to corrosive by-products.
Transformer Life Assessment Programs
GeoChem transformer oil testing services aligned with IEC/ASTM standards, backed by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited methods. Estimation of transformer life expectancy is very critical when transformers gets aged. We provide complete life assessment programs in line with IEEE and IEC standards, helping asset managers make informed decisions on refurbishment or replacement
On-site Transformer Oil Sampling Support
Insulation Health Starts with Sampling Accuracy
GeoChem Arabia provides transformer oil sampling services carried out by certified professionals. Whether for Normal Screening test or DGA, samples to be collected by expertise using proper sample kit complying ASTM/IEC/Other Global standards to ensure we get precise test report for assessment & further decision-making process. Our expertise team ensure proper sampling, handling, testing, and reporting to help assess the dielectric integrity and contamination levels in power transformers.
