Analysis of lube oil condition in the field is limited to a restricted number of parameters.
These parameters can provide an accurate picture of the oil condition or fitness for use. Some information on the machinery condition is also provided but typically less than would be obtained by a full spectrometric analysis from a laboratory. The parameters that can be tested in the field are discussed here and can be summarised as:
