Wear metals testing is one of the most important diagnostic tools for understanding the internal condition of engines, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, turbines, and fuel systems. As machinery operates, components naturally release microscopic metal particles. When these particles increase beyond safe limits, they indicate early wear, contamination, or impending mechanical failure. Regular wear metals testing in lubricants and fuels helps detect developing issues long before they become costly breakdowns.

Atlas Lab offers precise and reliable wear metals testing for lubricants and fuels using advanced analytical techniques such as ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) and rotating disc emission spectroscopy. As a NABL-accredited and ISO 17025-certified laboratory, we evaluate critical metals including iron, copper, aluminium, chromium, nickel, lead, tin, silver, and other trace elements. These results help identify problems such as bearing wear, piston scuffing, valve erosion, liner degradation, corrosion, and contamination from external sources like dirt or coolant.

Wear metals testing provides vital insights into equipment health by revealing abnormal friction, additive depletion, lubrication failure, or incorrect fuel combustion. In fuels, metal contamination can cause injector plugging, pump wear, and abrasive particle formation that severely impact performance. In lubricants, rising metal counts serve as early warnings, allowing engineers to take corrective action, plan maintenance, and prevent unplanned downtime.

Atlas Lab delivers fast, accurate, and cost-effective wear metals testing services for marine, industrial, automotive, power, and manufacturing clients across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and India. With decades of technical expertise, detailed reporting, and trend analysis, our testing solutions help protect equipment, optimise oil change intervals, and enhance overall reliability.
