Lube oil testing is essential for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of machinery across Karnataka’s rapidly expanding industrial, automotive, marine, power generation, and manufacturing sectors. As equipment operates, lubricants degrade due to heat, contamination, mechanical wear, and oxidation, leading to reduced performance and unexpected failures. Regular lube oil testing helps detect early signs of problems, extend machinery life, and reduce downtime, making it a critical part of preventive and predictive maintenance programs.

Atlas Lab provides comprehensive lube oil testing services across Karnataka, with fast sample pickup from major cities and industrial hubs including Bengaluru, Mangaluru, Udupi, Hubballi, Dharwad, Belagavi, Ballari, Mysuru, Tumakuru, and Shivamogga. We transport samples directly to our NABL-accredited and ISO 17025-certified laboratory for rapid, accurate analysis using globally recognised ASTM, ISO, and IP methods. Our quick turnaround times and detailed reports help industries make informed, data-driven maintenance decisions.

Key Tests Performed for Lube Oil in Karnataka

• Viscosity & Viscosity Index – Determines lubrication efficiency.
• Water Content (Karl Fischer) – Identifies moisture contamination.
• TAN/TBN – Measures acid formation and additive depletion.
• Wear Metal Analysis (ICP/OES) – Detects early component wear.
• Particle Count (ISO 4406) – Evaluates cleanliness levels.
• Oxidation, Nitration & Sulfation – Indicates oil degradation.
• Ferrous Density – Tracks iron wear trends.
• Flash Point, Contaminants & Additives – Ensures safety and oil integrity.

Why Lube Oil Testing Matters for Karnataka’s Industries

• Manufacturing & Engineering Units (Peenya, Mysuru, Hubballi)High-speed rotating machinery requires clean, healthy oil to avoid costly shutdowns.
• Automotive & Heavy Vehicle Sector (Bengaluru, Dharwad) Testing ensures engine oils remain stable, reducing wear and improving fuel efficiency.
• Power Plants & Renewable Energy Facilities Turbine oils, transformer oils, and hydraulic oils need strict monitoring to maintain operational continuity.
• Marine & Port Operations (Mangaluru, Karwar) Lube oil analysis prevents breakdowns in marine engines, gear systems, and auxiliary machinery.
• Mining & Heavy Equipment (Ballari, Chitradurga) Harsh operating conditions accelerate wear, making oil testing essential for equipment protection.

Regular lube oil testing helps Karnataka’s industries reduce unplanned downtime, optimise oil drain intervals, and protect critical assets, improving overall reliability and operational performance.
