Oil Analysis Service by Spectrometer

Abstract

A NEW service, now available in this country from Wear‐Check International Inc. provides spectrometer analysis of used oil together with interpretation of results. This method of oil analysis is not new and many large companies have their own direct reading spectrometer which is used for this, and other, purposes. The service now provided requires a 2 oz sample of the oil with relevant information about the equipment in which it has been used and the laboratory returns a report of the analysis of trace‐metals present with their interpretation of the causes of the results.
