Oil Analysis Programme
When beginning a routine oil analysis programme, the usual practice is to sample the entire group of units/components to establish initial baseline data and quickly spot any components with serious problems.
Once this process is complete, then it is possible to set an initial routine sampling interval. This interval is based on the results of the preliminary sampling, component manufacturer guidelines, customer maintenance procedures and personnel scheduling, and experience with similar components and applications.
When the oil analysis programme is fully established, the routine sampling interval may be adjusted. Once determined, routine sampling intervals should remain as constant as possible.
