FLUID TESTING

Oils / Lubricants

Oil analysis is an internal snapshot of the equipment you maintain and the oil that keeps it running. It can also serve as a predictive maintenance tool that uncovers correctable problems preventing them from developing into major failures.

Regular oil sampling and trend analysis allows you to:

✓ Maximize equipment reliability

✓ Extend drain intervals and equipment life

✓ Accurately budget for repair and replacement costs

✓ Plan and schedule downtime

✓ Identify problems before failure

Coolants / Antifreezes

Coolant analysis provides a comprehensive chemical evaluation of the coolant, as well as a check of the overall condition of the cooling system. Identifying concerns early in the cooling system will uncover fixable problems before further damage occurs to the equipment increasing overall equipment reliability.

Coolant testing and analysis with POLARIS Laboratories^® can:

✓ Monitor cooling system conditions

✓ Reduce component failure

✓ Predict maintenance and repairs

✓ Increase uptime and productivity

Diesel Fuel

Diesel fuel testing and analysis is one of the most effective ways to simultaneously increase equipment reliability and fleet productivity. It can identify causes of component failures (filter plugging and smoking), contamination and can monitor fuel quality and degradation.

Diesel fuel testing and analysis with POLARIS Laboratories^® can:

✓ Catch contamination concerns

✓ Predict maintenance and repairs

✓ Detect fuel degradation

✓ Monitor fuel quality

✓ Increase uptime and productivity

Grease

Grease testing and analysis optimizes a machine’s grease usage and improves the overall reliability of your equipment. With our easy-to-use grease sampling technology, only one gram of grease is needed for analysis.

Grease testing and analysis with POLARIS Laboratories^® can:

✓ Identify contamination problems

✓ Minimize unplanned maintenance and downtime

✓ Extend equipment life

✓ Improve overall equipment reliability

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

Testing and analyzing your DEF helps detect contamination that could reduce engine performance. Comprehensive testing provides a thorough check of in-service DEF, offering insights into potential issues and necessary actions to maintain optimal engine function. As DEF is consumed and replenished, new fluid is added to the system, making early detection of contamination crucial to preventing future performance issues. Proactively addressing these concerns ensures engine reliability and efficiency.

DEF testing and analysis with POLARIS Laboratories^® can:

✓ Detect contamination

✓ Prevent future issues

✓ Increase engine performance

Cooling Fluids

Testing and analyzing aqueous cooling fluids in data center environments helps identify contamination, clarity changes, or degradation that can impact heat transfer and system reliability. Monitoring fluid clarity provides early visibility into suspended particles or system concerns before they affect performance. Proactive testing supports efficient cooling, reduces risk of fouling or corrosion, and protects critical equipment.

Cooling fluid testing and analysis with POLARIS Laboratories^® can:

✓  Measure fluid clarity and detect contamination

✓  Identify degradation affecting heat transfer

✓  Improve overall cooling system reliability

✓  Enhance cooling system reliability
