Oil Analysis Services UAE
Detect equipment problems before they cause failures. DANA’s predictive maintenance program uses advanced oil analysis to protect your critical assets.
Why Oil Analysis Matters
Oil analysis is the blood test for your equipment. By monitoring the condition of your lubricant and detecting microscopic wear particles, you can predict equipment failures weeks or months before they occur. This predictive approach reduces unplanned downtime by up to 70% and extends equipment life by 30-50%.
DANA Lubes has been providing oil analysis services to UAE industries since 2002. Our ISO 17025-accredited laboratory uses advanced spectrometry and particle counting equipment to deliver accurate, actionable results within 48 hours.
DANA Oil Analysis Program
Wear Metal Analysis
Detect microscopic wear particles (iron, copper, chromium, lead) that indicate component wear. Trend analysis reveals developing problems before they cause failures.
Particle Count & Contamination
Measure solid particle contamination (dust, dirt, wear debris) using ISO 4406 cleanliness codes. Identify filtration needs and contamination sources.
Viscosity Testing
Verify lubricant viscosity at 40°C and 100°C. Detect viscosity changes caused by oxidation, thermal breakdown, or contamination.
Water Content Analysis
Measure water contamination using Karl Fischer titration. Detect water ingress from cooling systems, condensation, or environmental exposure.
Oil Analysis Testing Parameters
| Test Parameter | What It Detects | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Wear Metals (Fe, Cu, Cr, Pb) | Component wear, bearing failure, gear damage | ASTM D6595 |
| Particle Count | Solid contamination, filtration effectiveness | ISO 4406 |
| Viscosity @ 40°C / 100°C | Oil degradation, wrong oil, fuel dilution | ASTM D445 |
| Water Content | Coolant leaks, condensation, environmental ingress | ASTM D6304 |
| Total Acid Number (TAN) | Oil oxidation, additive depletion | ASTM D664 |
| Flash Point | Fuel dilution, contamination | ASTM D93 |

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I sample oil?
Sampling frequency depends on equipment criticality and operating conditions. Critical equipment (turbines, compressors) should be sampled monthly. General industrial equipment typically monthly to quarterly. DANA’s technical team can recommend optimal sampling intervals for your operation.
How do I take a proper oil sample?
Sample from the same location each time, preferably from a fixed sampling valve. Take samples at operating temperature, after the equipment has been running for at least 30 minutes. Avoid sampling immediately after an oil change or filter replacement. DANA provides training on proper sampling techniques.
How long does analysis take?
DANA’s laboratory delivers results within 48 hours of sample receipt. Emergency analysis (24-hour turnaround) is available for critical equipment situations.
