Grease analysis
In order to obtain an accurate grease analysis, correct sampling is essential.
Optimal machine performance starts with regular testing and analysis of greases. Bureau Veritas’ global network of state-of-the-art laboratories provides accurate and reliable results you can rely on to get the most out of your machines.
Like lubricating oils, lubricating greases primarily protect bearings against mechanical friction and wear. Although their use is often planned for a long period of time, regular monitoring is important to detect and prevent damage in good time. Our test procedures are adapted to the special requirements of greases.
We also support you with aids for proper grease sampling.
With our customer-oriented reports together with solution-oriented data analysis, we go one step further and close the gap between data and correct business decisions.
The Bureau Veritas Grease Analysis Program offers:
- Proper assessment of equipment and lubricant conditions
- Elimination of unplanned downtime
- Improve plant reliability
- Productivity gains
- Controlling spare parts costs
Grease analysis programmes
Optimal equipment performance begins with constant testing and analysis of machine fluids.
The grease analysis test package has been developed to detect changes in grease consistency, viscosity and oxidation stability and to determine the remaining shelf life.
