Oil analysis program protects equipment and saves money

A good oil analysis program is integral to any successful lubricant reliability program. With consistent, accurate monitoring of the condition of your oil - whether in an engine, gearbox, circulating system or mainline power generation turbine - an oil analysis program can help you improve your bottom line with less lubricant to purchase, fewer parts to keep in inventory, less used lubricant requiring disposal, less labor and less downtime.

LE's oil analysis program - LEAP? - enables you to be more efficient with your use of lubricants and reliability tools. LEAP monitors oil samples for mechanical, operational and environmental factors that can affect equipment and oil life. Why choose LE for oil analysis? With LE you can be confident you're testing with a company that knows lubricants and knows your equipment. LE's testing facilities are ISO 17025 A2LA accredited, giving you additional peace of mind that your fluid analysis program is supported by a documented quality system you can depend on to deliver superior testing and customer service.

LEAP reports are fast, accurate and reviewed by experts

After your LEAP samples have been logged, you can track their progress through the laboratory at www.trackmysample.com. Results are available almost immediately after sample processing is complete. A lab consultant, LE's Technical Service Department and your LE representative will all review your reports - ensuring a level of expert support that is unmatched in the industry.

Online reporting software, HORIZON®, available at www.eoilreports.com, will show you how to get the most from your data through management reports that allow you to effectively keep sampling schedules on track, identify bottlenecks in turnaround time, track unit and fluid performance, and influence purchasing decisions.

LE offers special oil analysis for mainline turbines

The key to efficient turbine maintenance is routine monitoring of the oil, which ensures that decisions involving the turbine, including scheduling of oil changes and other maintenance, are based on what is actually happening inside the unit, instead of the number of hours, days or years of operation. Routine and in-depth monitoring can provide warning signs early enough to take corrective action.

The Turbine Oil Analysis (TOA) program offered by LE goes beyond routine industrial oil analysis. LE's comprehensive program provides consistent, accurate monitoring of turbine oil for mechanical, operational and environmental factors that can affect the performance and lifespan of the oil and the turbines. This valuable insight means less oil to buy, less used oil to dispose of, fewer labor hours, less unscheduled downtime and longer turbine life - all contributing to a healthier bottom line.
