Grease Analysis

The function of grease is to stay in contact with surfaces and lubricate without leakage due to centrifugal forces or pressures. At the same time, the grease must be able to flow through all the components for which it is intended to lubricate.

Conditional grease analysis can identify changes in the consistency, viscosity and oxidation stability of grease and can help determine remaining useful life. Contamination, base oil depletion, and various mechanical issues can affect the grease's ability to stay in contact with and protect metal surfaces. In order to predict this situation and to detect the negativities, analyzes should be performed on the grease.
