You can contact Wilfred Laboratories via their website (wilfredlaboratories.com) or by phone at +91-9710447147 to discuss your testing needs and initiate their services.
They serve industries including wind energy, marine, automotive, mining, industrial, and transformer oil sectors, providing tailored testing solutions.
They test a variety of fuels, including diesel, gasoline, aviation fuels, and marine fuels, to ensure they meet quality standards for efficient combustion and reduced emissions.
Fuel testing ensures fuels meet quality standards, which is critical for optimizing engine performance, reducing emissions, and preventing damage to machinery due to poor fuel quality.
While specific turnaround times depend on the laboratory, industry standards suggest 7-10 days for detailed fuel analysis, depending on contamination severity.
Viscosity measures an oil’s resistance to flow, which affects its ability to lubricate and protect machinery under various operating conditions. Changes in viscosity can indicate oil degradation or contamination, necessitating maintenance.
Viscosity is measured using viscometers, which determine kinematic viscosity (in centistokes, cSt) or dynamic viscosity (in millipascal-seconds, mPa·s), ensuring the oil meets required standards for specific applications.
High viscosity can cause poor flow and increased energy consumption, while low viscosity may lead to inadequate lubrication and increased wear.
Ferrous particles are iron-containing wear particles from machine components like bearings or gears. Testing for these particles helps detect abnormal wear or potential machinery failures, allowing for timely maintenance.
Ferrous particles are detected using techniques like inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy, which identifies and quantifies iron and other metals in oil samples.
High ferrous content suggests increased wear, possibly due to component failure or inadequate lubrication, requiring further investigation.
Lube oil analysis involves testing lubricating oils to assess their condition and the health of the machinery they lubricate. It is crucial for detecting contamination, wear, and oil degradation, helping to prevent equipment failure and extend machinery life.
The frequency depends on the machinery type and operating conditions, but testing every 3-6 months or as per manufacturer guidelines is generally recommended.
Common parameters include viscosity, total acid number (TAN), water content, wear metals, and fuel dilution.
Used oil analysis reveals levels of wear metals, contaminants like water or fuel, and the overall condition of the oil, helping diagnose machinery health and plan maintenance.
Samples should be collected from a clean sampling point when the machinery is at operating temperature, using clean containers and following proper sampling procedures to avoid contamination.
Regular analysis, such as every 3-6 months, is recommended, depending on equipment usage and manufacturer guidelines.
Common tests include dropping point, penetration, oxidation stability, and contamination levels, ensuring greases perform their lubricating and protective functions effectively.
Grease testing ensures that greases maintain their lubricating properties under various conditions, preventing wear and extending equipment life.
Grease testing focuses on properties like consistency and thermal stability, while oil testing emphasizes flow and contamination.
Wear metals are particles from machine components (e.g., iron, copper, aluminum) that indicate wear or damage. Monitoring them helps identify potential issues before they lead to catastrophic failure.
High levels suggest increased wear, possibly due to misalignment, overload, or inadequate lubrication, requiring investigation.
Common wear metals include iron, copper, aluminum, lead, and chromium, detected via spectroscopy.
