TRANSFORMER OIL ANALYSIS

The analysis of insulating oils provides information about the oil, but also enables the detection of other possible problems, including contact arcing, aging insulating paper and other latent faults and is an indispensable part of a cost-efficient electrical maintenance program.

STORED DIESEL FUEL ANALYSIS:

Testing the diesel fuel in standby power generators is critical for the reliability of facilities to operate in the event of outside power loss. Our testing complies with NFPA 110 and ASTM D975 for determining the serviceability of on-site stored fuel.

OIL & ANTI-FREEZE TESTING:

Emergency and standby generators must work when you need them, failure is not an option. Lubricants and coolants used in standby generators will degrade over time. If not managed properly this can result in unexpected generator shutdown, operational disruptions and costly repairs. Our testing accesses the condition of the oil and coolants in your emergency and back-up power generators as part of your facility’s asset condition monitoring program.

INDUSTRIAL COOLANT TESTING:

From refrigerants to cooling water, data center cooling systems are fundamental to facility operations. Testing these fluids on a routine basis ensures your equipment never overheats.
