Hydraulic Oil in the modern age has become an indisposable part across industries as it is utilized in a variety of Hardware, machinery and apparatus. Hydraulic oils are used in various industries like mining, shipping, aviation, heavy industry, manufacturing, construction and chemicals etc. Hydraulic Oils are non-compressible liquids which transfer energy within the piece of machinery. Most of the problems that arise in hydraulic systems are due to contamination of the Hydraulic Oil. To ensure that the health of the machinery is at optimum and to maximise the productivity of the hydraulic system it is essential that a timely sampling and in-depth analysis is conducted.
Atlas Lab provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art Hydraulic oil testing and analysis service. We test the Hydraulic Oils as per the following world class standards such ASTM - American Society for Testing and Materials, ISO - International Organization for Standardization, IP – Institute of Petroleum etc. The various tests conducted for Hydraulic Oil are Appearance, Acid Number, API Gravity, Ash, Nitration, Insolubles - Benzene Insolubles, NAS Value - 1638, Particle Count etc. Tests for Hydraulic Oil are carried out by experts in the field of testing and analysis with over 40 years of cumulative experience to provide exact results for your hydraulic oil - related issues. Atlas lab offers a complete solution for Hydraulic Oil with quick and precise test results at a cost-effective price to clients on a global scale.
What are the benefits of Hydraulic Oil Testing?
Helps extend the oil change period of the Hydraulic Oil
To meet and comply with the different national and international standards
To improve the life duration of the machinery
To have contamination and wear and tear under contol
To identify possible issues with the machinery before they occur
Savings to organization by avoiding unnecessary Hydraulic oil top up
We test the Hydraulic Oils as per the following world class standards :
ASTM - American Society for Testing and Materials
ISO - International Organization for Standardization
IP – Institute of Petroleum
DIN - Deutsches Institut für Normung
BIS – Bureau of Indian Standards
JASO - Japanese Automotive Standards Organization
API - American Petroleum Institute
AGMA – American Gear Manufacturers Association
SAE – Society of Automotive Engineers
What are the different grades of Hydraulic Oils as tested by Atlas Lab?
Hydraulic Oil 15 - is typically used in power steering and hydraulic brake systems.
Hydraulic Fluid 22 - is mostly used in airlines for air tools.
Hydraulic Fluid 32 - is normally used in high-powered machine tools.
