Oil Analysis

AVAILABLE OILS AND HYDRAULIC FLUIDS ANALYSIS

Monitoring the condition of the hydraulic fluid means keeping full control of the entire system. The key variables to observe are the type and concentration of contamination. In the MP Filtri laboratory, analyses are carried out in accordance with international standards, capable of detecting all forms of contamination and evaluating essential parameters such as viscosity and filterability of fluids. A contaminated hydraulic fluid reduces performance, accelerates wear, and can cause costly downtime.
To prevent this, MP Filtri offers the following analysis services:
