3 THE MEDICAL CHECK-UP OF YOUR EQUIPMENT Known as an essential tool of predictive maintenance, oil analysis can be compared to a blood test: it provides a global picture of the health of any industrial equipment. ASSETS LIFE EXTENSION COMPONENT WEAR Metals, abrasion, etc. EARLY FAILURE DETECTION OIL ANALYSIS CONTAMINANT INGRESSION Particles, water, glycol, etc. OIL DRAIN INTERVALS OPTIMISATION LUBRICANT FUNCTIONS Viscosity, acidity, additives, etc. save up to $ 240,000 year for its fleet of 4 electric shovels IN NUMBERS In the 2000s, the combination of an oil analysis program with severe cleanliness targets and the installation of appropriate filtration systems enabled an American iron ore mining company to save up to $240,000/year for its fleet of 4 electric shovels.

A CLEAR DIAGNOSTIC Laurentide Controls oil analysis service combines all the results in one sample to isolate the three main vectors of information: chemistry, contamination and wear. Trivector TM integrates the oil analysis results in a simple and intuitive colorized graph. For example, the analysis of the sample shown on the right reveals severe contamination combined with functional degradation of the oil as well as advanced wear of the lubricated component. Trivector TM CONTAMINATION WEAR CHEMISTRY

4 Tip An increase in the Acid Number (AN) generally indicates the beginning of oxidation. It is recommended to investigate excessive heat sources of the equipment, the presence of metal particles, as well as water and air infiltrations. All of these sources are known as oxidation catalysts. ANALYSIS OIL TYPE Test Method Gear Hydraulic Diesel Engine Turbine Compressor Sampling Frequencies (month) 3 3 (a) 3 3 Wear Debris Analysis Microscopic observation to determine the morphology and quantity of wear and contaminant particles. Filtergram Performed if the Ferrous Wear Index is elevated Flash Point Determines the temperature at which oil vaporizes sufficiently to sustain momentary ignition when exposed to a flame. ASTM D92 O O O RPVOT Evaluates the remaining life of the oil by measuring the oil s antioxidant capacity. QSA Measures the varnish potential of an oil on a scale of 0 to 100. RULER Measures the remaining active antioxidants in the oil (amines, phenols, ZDDP. Rotating Pressure Oxidation Vessel Test ASTM D2272 Quantitative Spectrophoto-metric Analysis Remaining Useful Life ASTM D6971 O R O O O R R O O R O Air Release Evaluates the tendency of an oil to retain entrained air. Foaming Evaluates the foaming tendency and foaming stability of an oil. ASTM D3427 O O R ASTM D892 O O O R O Demulsibility Determines the water separation characteristics of an oil. Corrosion Evaluates the degree to which a lubricant will corrode copper-containing materials (bronze). Rust Evaluates the oil s ability to prevent the rusting of ferrous parts. ASTM D1401 O R O ASTM D130 O O R O ASTM D130 O O R O Specific Gravity Measures the specific gravity of an oil. ASTM D1298 O (EHC only) OUR OTHER TESTS We also provide the following tests: - Grease Analysis - Glycol Analysis - Filter Debris Analysis - Material Identification Analysis
