Fluid Analysis

Analyzing system fluids reveals actual internal conditions

  • Contaminant levels predict component failures accurately
  • Oil analysis records prove your equipment has been maintained and help increase resale value
  • Any make, any model

Miller-Bradford & Risberg offers fluid analysis kits to monitor the internal health of your equipment. Performing fluid analysis at regular intervals ensures that potential problems will be spotted as early as possible.

What is Fluid Analysis?

By extracting fluids from several areas in your equipment and analyzing the level of contaminants in the fluids, potential problems with component failure can actually be predicted. As components wear, microscopic pieces will appear in the fluids throughout the machine's parts. By analyzing which metals are appearing where and in what concentration, the remaining life of each component can actually be predicted, so that you can anticipate when major repairs may be necessary.

Service and Repair Recommendations

By evaluating the results of your machine's fluid analysis, Miller-Bradford & Risberg can provide guidance on necessary repairs and filter and oil change intervals.

Laboratory Accreditation

The fluid analysis laboratories that Miller-Bradford & Risberg uses are ISO 17025 A2LA accredited, which is the highest level of quality certification for testing laboratories by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation. You can be confident that the fluid analysis results are accurate, repeatable, and backed by stringent laboratory standards.

Sampling Intervals

Manufacturers recommend sampling intervals for each model. Also consider how critical each piece of equipment is to your production in determining sampling frequency. You may want to reduce the hours between sampling periods for equipment operating under more stressful conditions.
