Oil Condition Monitoring Excellence

Advanced lubricant analysis for predictive maintenance and equipment reliability

GeoChem Arabia offers oil testing and condition monitoring based on advanced maintenance philosophies developed in consultation with renowned tribologists. The fundamentals of lubrication are to minimize surface-to-surface contact of moving metallic parts by providing a thin film coating, allowing machines to operate with minimal friction and wear.

Our detailed Oil Testing programs monitor lubricant trends and system health through scheduled sampling and specified test parameters. This advancement in lubricant technology ensures clean systems and extended service life, with programs designed to evaluate contamination levels, engine malfunctions, oil deterioration, and parts wear. Our services help industries achieve significant operational improvements while maintaining equipment integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about environmental testing services and laboratory capabilities

What is oil testing and condition monitoring?

Oil testing and Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) is a predictive maintenance strategy that analyzes lubricant samples to assess equipment health. Through scheduled sampling and laboratory analysis, we monitor contamination levels, wear metals, oil deterioration, and additive depletion. This provides early warning of potential equipment failures, enabling proactive maintenance interventions before costly breakdowns occur.

What benefits does oil testing provide?
Our programs deliver significant benefits including reduced operating costs through optimized maintenance, extended oil drain periods maximizing lubricant life, elimination of unscheduled equipment shutdowns, optimized maintenance levels based on actual condition, early detection of contamination and component wear, prevention of catastrophic failures, and data-driven decision making supported by trend analysis and historical reporting.
How often should oil samples be taken?
Sampling frequency depends on equipment criticality, operating conditions, and historical data. GeoChem Arabia assists in identifying critical machinery, creating correct sampling frequencies, and identifying optimal sampling points. Typically, critical equipment is sampled monthly or quarterly, while less critical systems may be sampled semi-annually. We provide customized sampling schedules based on your specific operational requirements.
How are samples collected and transported?
GeoChem Arabia provides specially designed sample bottles and full-flagged sample labels incorporating all necessary details for proper identification and tracking. We offer sample collection services anywhere in Saudi Arabia, ensuring proper sampling techniques and sample integrity. Our logistics network ensures safe transportation to our laboratory while maintaining chain of custody and preventing contamination during transit.
