Oil Condition Monitoring
It
is a OCM program and Naft Andish Yekta Company (yekta oil & gas PTE JS co. ) can complete its entire Condition Monitoring program from A to Z
(ordering , sampling , testing , data analysis and recommendations).
The early days of OCM can be traced back to 1946, when
US railroad engineers started to detect component deterioration by
analysing diesel engine lubricant. Samples were collected and sent to
laboratories where spectrographs were used to detect chemical elements
such as copper and iron.
The results were then used to identify the
early warning signs of engine failure and carry out repairs before a
total breakdown occurred.

What is Oil Condition Monitoring?
Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) is a crucial element of any
predictive maintenance schedule. OCM includes measuring, monitoring and
analysing changes in lubricant and fuel oils for contamination and
chemical content, and tracking degradation in oil quality from new to
end-of-life.
This data provides insights into issues affecting
performance and reliability, and can form the basis of an effective
maintenance programme .
Why monitor oil condition?
Accurate, high quality oil condition analysis provides a deep
insight into the health and status of your equipment. Contamination by
fuel, water or acid, can quickly lead to oil losing it’s lubrication
properties and subsequent equipment damage.
Small unseen issues, which if left to develop will cause a major
breakdown, will be reflected in miniscule changes in oil condition. As
oil condition degrades with use, you are able pin-point the exact time
for maintenance, extending service intervals without risk.
Note:
All you have to do is select a Yekta group for oil condition monitoring
program consultation. From A to Z, we will consult and follow the
process and complete it.
The oil condition monitoring program is a global standard, American Society for Testing & Materials ASTM D4378 and all industries in all countries follow this standard and do it correctly .Our Oil Condition Monitoring or Used Oil Analysis programme will
assess your fluid for problems and report these issues quickly and
efficiently.
Tests are performed in our partnership laboratories by fully qualified chemists. The OCM analysis results are
reviewed by our experienced analytical data specialists to indicate oil
and machinery health.
Using our yekta OCM or UOA( Used Oil Analyses) programme is
easy and cost-effective. By using yekta to routinely test and check
the condition of your machinery lubricating oils, you receive valuable
comprehensive reports on both the condition of the lubricating oils and
their machinery. We develop individual testing programmes to meet your
Total Quality Assurance needs and ensure sample collection, shipping,
testing and reporting is seamless, efficient, and cost-effective.
Turbine oils, engine oils, transmissions and hydraulics
Condition
monitoring by regular tests of in-service oils are made to give
diagnostics of lubricant quality degradation, signs of abnormal wear and
contaminant levels.
Recurring tests are necessary to establish trends,
and the test interval is set depending on production uptime
requirements, risks in the operating environment and other maintenance
routines. A common recommendation is that tests are made at least 2-4
times per year.
The results will be compared to reference values,
system limits and/or recommendations to international standards such as
ASTM D6224 or ASTM D4378 for in-service monitoring of gas and steam
turbine oils.

yekta oil analysis expertise provides our clients with a multitude of
benefits, with world-class testing facilities and global service
coverage.
Our independent and impartial Total Quality Assurance( QA)
specialists can truly satisfy your requirements with the precision, pace
and passion you desire .
From powering engines to lubricating moving parts, oil
is fundamental to the manufacturing and transport sectors.
Quality can
have a major impact on both productivity and profitability, making Oil
Condition Monitoring (OCM) a top priority for most consumers. Also known
as Used Oil Analysis (UOA), the process involves monitoring the quality
and characteristics of oil to maintain efficiency and detect any issues
that could compromise performance.
As you can see, the oil condition monitoring program is very important for any industry because it reduces repair costs and increases the efficiency of the device and ultimately increases the life of the equipment.
Our OCM or UOA programmes measure engine oils, lubricating oils, and
other fluids for the detection of mechanical wear, lubricant quality
degradation, and other associated issues.
Operating on a global
basis in locations around the world, our oil condition monitoring or
used oil analysis laboratories offer accredited oil and lube testing
results, presented in easy-to-read and understandable reports.
We
provide customised and extensive analysis test suites and packages,
including tests such as elemental analysis, viscosity, dilution, water
detection, acid number, base number, particle counting, and particle
analysis to name a few.
Our testing capabilities cover a vast
range of oils and lubricants, spanning a range of industries and sectors
including; diesel engine lubricants, gas turbine generators, gearbox
oils, gas engine oil, jet engine oil testing, hydraulic fluid, brake
fluid, grease testing, transformer oil testing, petrol, metalworking
fluids, greases and gasoline engine fluids.
You
can confidently and powerfully contact our team , and contact us to
provide you with the most appropriate lubrication condition monitoring and related
tests in accordance with global standards. All you have to do is contact
us and complete your order with the financial department. And during your needs , the Yekta team will be by your side.
Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) or Used Oil Analysis (UOA) predictive
maintenance programmes help clients avoid costly machinery, engine and
power-train failures by tracking changes in machinery lubricant quality.
Providing vital ‘early-warning’ of impending problems and supporting
smooth and reliable machinery operation.
Operational issues in
machines, engines and other components are often reflected in the
condition of the lubricant oil being used. Regularly scheduled oil
condition monitoring or used oil analysis can identify mechanical
problems before they impact the efficient running of machinery, avoiding
costly headaches later on.
Lubricants have to work under
demanding conditions, exposed to constant high pressures, temperatures
and other harmful factors, including water contamination, corrosion,
fuel, and air ingested particles. High levels of wear particles give
advance warning of possible machinery malfunction, allowing early
remedial action to be taken.
Where analytical results suggest no undue
wearing is taking place, the operator may extend the interval between
services or oil changes.
Scheduled lubricant testing and expert
advice can avoid and mitigate costly component or system failures and
unscheduled maintenance.
