Oil Analysis for Industrial Reliability
Data-driven oil analysis and lifecycle intelligence for critical industrial assets.
Comprehensive oil analysis and digital data management give you a complete view of lubricant health, equipment condition, and lifecycle performance.
Why it Matters
Oil Analysis Is One of the Most Effective Ways to Prevent Equipment Failures
Oil is often the first indicator of wear, contamination, or lubrication-related issues. Properly interpreted oil analysis reveals developing risks long before they lead to costly downtime.
We go beyond laboratory numbers. Our approach combines:
Chemical condition analysis
Contamination and cleanliness assessment
Wear particle evaluation
Expert performance statements with clear action recommendations
Oil analysis becomes a decision-making tool — not just a report.
“Oil health management is a reliable method to ensure stable, trouble-free operation.”
Markus Lehti, Maintenance Engineer, Keravan Lämpövoima
How it Works
Comprehensive Oil Laboratory Services for Industrial Needs
Our oil analysis and lubricant lifecycle management are built around three complementary service areas. These solutions can be implemented individually or combined, depending on the specific requirements and criticality of the asset.
OIL ANALYSIS
Comprehensive oil analysis for a wide range of applications and operating environments. Our analyses cover lubricant chemical condition, cleanliness, wear metals, and contamination.
CLEANLINESS ANALYSIS
Raw analysis data alone is not always enough. Microscopic examination reveals particle origin, wear mechanisms, and the true nature of contamination.
PERFORMANCE STATEMENT
An expert assessment of the overall condition of the oil and the asset, including clear, actionable recommendations to support decision-making.
Comprehensive Oil Laboratory Services for Every Need
We provide a wide range of oil analysis services tailored to different applications and criticality levels.
Examples of analysis packages include:
Chemical condition of the oil (e.g. oxidation, additive health, viscosity)
Cleanliness and particle analysis
Water content and contamination detection
Wear metals and component-specific indicators
Application-specific analysis (hydraulics, gearboxes, turbines, engines)
Our services scale from standard routine analysis to advanced, application-specific investigations (e.g., hydraulics, gear systems, turbines, transformers, engines, and more).

Microscope-Based Cleanliness Assessment – More Than Just Numbers
A particle count alone does not always tell the full story.
That’s why we provide a microscope-based cleanliness assessment alongside the analysis, where our expert evaluates:
Particle type and origin
Wear mechanisms
Contamination risks
This delivers significant added value compared to traditional laboratory reports and helps ensure corrective actions are accurately targeted.

Assessment based on microscopic analysis
In-Depth Condition Assessment – Not Just Results, but Interpretation and Conclusions
Based on the analysis results, we provide a comprehensive Performance Statement that answers key questions:
What is the true condition of the oil and the asset?
What risks are developing?
What actions are recommended – and why?
This turns oil analysis into a decision-making tool, not just a report.
Fluid Eye® – Oil Analysis and Digital Data Management
Fluid Eye® – Oil Analysis + Digital Data Management
As a value-added service, oil analyses can be integrated into the Fluid Eye® platform, providing a comprehensive view of the lubricant lifecycle throughout its use – from sampling and analysis to maintenance actions, interventions, and reporting.
This enables:
Centralized storage of all laboratory results
A Health Score indicator for each lubrication point
Visibility at machine, line, plant, and enterprise levels
Automated action recommendations
Trend monitoring to identify issues early
Easy comparison between assets and fleets
This is a powerful alternative when real-time monitoring is not yet in place, but you want to go significantly beyond traditional laboratory services.
Events, Trends, and Reporting in One View
When laboratory results, events, and actions are combined into a single timeline, a comprehensive lifecycle view is created, supporting:
Optimization of the lubricant lifecycle
Maintenance decision-making
Cost efficiency
CO₂ emission reduction and reporting
Oil Analysis Is Part of a Broader Condition Management Strategy
Oil analysis provides valuable insight into lubricant condition and wear, but the real value is achieved when analysis data is combined with real-time condition monitoring and lubrication optimization.
