Analysis of used oil samples by specialist laboratories provides an important monitoring element to any preventative maintenance program.  In situ oil condition monitoring and laboratory based particle measurement in oil samples has long been recognised as one of the essential elements of machinery condition analysis.

Kittiwake's ANALEXpq wear debris technology technology has become the definitive test conducted by used oil analysis laboratories around the world. These organisations use the ANALEXpqA or pqM along with the ANALEXrpD technology to enhance their service offer to clients and to cover limitations in the scope and accuracy of other analytical techniques and methods.  Many laboratories use ANALEXpq equipment to screen large volumes of oil samples in order to detect those samples that require more thorough investigation. 

Samples that indicate a high PQ Index reading may then be analysed further. One such analysis involves separating the wear particles from the oil sample using the ANALEXrpd and then examining the particles by optical or electron microscope. ANALEXpq and ANALEXrpD instruments for used oil analysis laboratories are available in a variety of configurations and are all supplied with required consumables, instruction manuals and WinPQ software as appropriate.
