| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential benefits of fluid analysis as part of a preventative maintenance program. Explains that "fluid analysis is more than just testing used oil or discolored coolant. It is an exact science that can prevent downtime, extend oil drain intervals and save...money." States that "differences in readings between...test results and the wear pattern can provide the earliest possible warning of a developing mechanical problem." Offers suggestions for obtaining samples of equipment fluid. Concludes that "by doing fluid analysis on a regular basis, [technicians] can avoid downtime, determine the cause of the problems and ensure...equipment is worth more at trade-in time. After all, machinery with a strong maintenance history generally sell quicker and for more money than equipment without it." |
