Industrial oil
analysis
Oil analysis is at the core of our intelligent heavy equipment maintenance strategy. Thanks to our in-house oil and lubricant analysis laboratory, we can quickly carry out a range of oil tests and deliver effective analytical services to assess the condition of your lubricants and anticipate mechanical problems.
At LTI Group, oil analysis goes beyond delivering a report. The results guide corrective actions and are discussed with you by our team when implementing your program.

More precision and reliability with lab-based oil analysis
Lab analysis of industrial oil follows standardized ASTM methods. Our technicians carefully analyze each sample to ensure strict quality control. This allows us to detect key indicators of degradation or wear, including:
- Oil breakdown due to oxidation or premature ageing
- Contaminants like water, dust, or fuel
- Wear indicators such as traces of metals
This data feeds into a predictive lubrication strategy, essential for condition monitoring and machine wear tracking.
Professional sampling for accurate results
The benefits of industrial oil analysis
