Abrasion Metals Test of Machine Oils

Testing for wear metals in lubricants, oils and other machine fluids helps our customers avoid expensive damage and downtime to high-value engines, gears, generators, turbines and other key equipment.

Early detection of wear metals in lubricants and greases improves machine reliability, especially when done as part of a professional oil condition monitoring program.

The NANOLAB wear metals test detects the presence of suspected metal wear contamination down to parts per million (ppm) and is an early warning of possible machine damage or malfunction.

Tested wear metals:

  • Iron (Fe)
  • Copper (Cu)
  • Lead (Pb)
  • tin (Sec)
  • Nickel (Ni)
  • Aluminum (Al)
  • Cadmium (Cd)
  • Silver (Ag)
  • Titanium (Ti)
  • Vanadium (V)
  • and other trace metals
NANOLAB, our oil condition testing laboratory also analyzes oil additives and other contaminants.
