TCP Investigative Analysis

Tri-County Petroleum has developed a program to determine machine reliability in conjunction with fluid analysis.  With Direct Read (DR) Ferrography, our engineers can get more involved in investigative analysis to help determine the cause of failure.  Also, this program can help determine what type of failure mode your machine is experiencing.

The capabilities of this program are enhanced by our on-site inspections.  Let us help you take the guesswork out of wear related failures.

Three Aspects of Oil Analysis

Lubricant Condition 

The assessment of the lubricant condition reveals whether the system fluid is healthy and fit for further service, or is ready for a change.

Contaminants

Ingressed contaminants from the surrounding environment in the form of dirt, water and process contamination are the leading cause of machine degradation and failure.  Increased contamination alerts you to take action in order to save the oil and avoid unnecessary machine wear.

Machine Wear

An unhealthy machine generates wear particles at an exponential rate.  The detection and analysis of these particles assist in making critical maintenance decisions.  Machine failure due to worn out components can be avoided. Remember, healthy and clean oil lead to the minimization of machine wear.
