Our oil analysis services
Lab Advisor Oil analysis - A health check for machines and engines
In the same way as a blood test can give a good picture of your health, an oil analysis can provide invaluable information about the status of machines and engines. With analyses of used lubricants, you can undertake preventive maintenance, optimize production and lower maintenance costs in a simple and cost-effective way. Effective monitoring of the condition of the oil can give you an early warning before a breakdown happens and can even provide clues as to where the problem is located.
Lab Advisor in two different guises
Lab Advisor Alert
Lab Advisor Alert forms part of your planned machine maintenance, and is an effective way to protect the machine park and prevent expensive downtime.
Lab Advisor Advanced
Lab Advisor Advanced is a more individual, customized service where your needs control what we do for you. The service is suitable for those who need analyses other than those offered in Alert, such as in the case of operating problems and investigations.
We are more than willing to help you determine which analysis you require. Regardless of which of our Lab Advisor services you use, you receive invaluable information that increases reliability.
Lab Advisor Alert
Alert is a fast, easily accessible analysis solution that is available ready-packaged for most needs within industry, marine, automotive and offshore sectors. Alert is part of a planned maintenance and a trend analysis can also be done based on the results, where the optimum oil change interval is predicted.
We perform all analyses required in order to determine the condition of the oil and the machine. You can access your analysis report at our web portal after a week. Log in to view your lab report
Before sending a sample to the lab you need to register the sample and print labels in the web portal. Contact your sales rep or customer service if you want to order or know more about Lab Advisor Alert.
Sending samples to the laboratory in the UK
All letters and parcels sent abroad must now have a customs declaration (CN23) that is digitally registered. It is printed out and attached to the parcel. This means that the pre-printed CN22 Toll/Duane label attached to the sample parcel is no longer valid.
Due to the size of the new customs declaration label, the oil samples must be packed and sent in a reinforced envelope or in a box.
To register the digital customs declaration, go to bring.no or posten.no and follow the instructions for sending parcels abroad. You'll find the information you need to complete the declaration in the table below.
