Components and fuel types we can deliver analyses for:
Oil is a critical component in machinery and equipment, and the condition of the oil has a direct impact on performance, service life and maintenance costs. With our oil analyses, you get detailed insight into the condition of the oil, so you can detect problems early and avoid downtime.
Nolab offers comprehensive oil analysis for a variety of industries, including offshore, maritime, industrial and transportation. Our analyses provide answers to important questions such as:
Our laboratory uses advanced testing methods to provide you with precise results and clear recommendations. We analyze, among other things:
With regular oil analyses from Nolab You can plan maintenance based on actual data, reduce the risk of breakdowns and ensure more cost-effective operation.
An oil sample is easily taken by you as a customer with our sampling equipment. The sample is taken in a disposable plastic bottle to prevent contamination from outside.
When the sample arrives at our laboratory, it is registered and sent for analysis. The sample will then undergo a series of mechanical treatments depending on the parameters it will be analyzed on. Our employees follow the process and in the event of deviations or serious errors, we will immediately contact the customer.
When the sample has been analyzed, the customer will be sent an analysis report. In addition to the results of the sample that has just been analyzed, this will contain results from previous tests on the same component. This provides an opportunity to follow the development of the component.
The analysis report is sent by email to the customer in addition to all data being stored with us. Larger customers can also receive a username and password to our online service upon request, which provides easy access to all owned devices.
To get a correct picture of the oil's properties, contamination level and quality, it is required that the sample is representative of the total lubrication volume. It is therefore very important to follow the correct sampling procedure and have knowledge of possible sources of error when taking a sample. This is achieved by taking the following precautions:
If possible, an oil sample should be taken at normal operating temperature, or immediately after a shutdown. This is because warm oil gives a more representative picture. Cleaning the sample point is very important, and to avoid contamination of the sample, only clean sampling equipment should be used. Sampling equipment can be supplied by the laboratory. Before sampling, drain at least ½ liter of oil. Leave the sample valve open between draining and sampling. Then fill the sample bottle without closing the oil flow. When taking a sample from the tank, take the sample from the middle level. The hose should be changed between each sample. Refill the same amount of oil as has been drained. Use sample bottles and labels from Nolab . Mark the sample with:
We supply everything you need for sample collection and shipping. Please contact us if you have any questions.
