Sampling – Basis for reliable analyses and diagnoses
Year of publication: 2024
Correct sampling is a prerequisite for meaningful laboratory results and reliable decisions. Even state-of-the-art testing equipment and experienced evaluation engineers cannot realise their potential if the basic rules of professional sampling are disregarded out of ignorance.
How do we avoid delays and optimise our lubricant examinations?
Year of publication: 2024
OELCHECK lubricant and operating fluid analyses are an important element of our proactive maintenance. But from time to time you have questions for us before starting an examination or sending a laboratory report. How can we help you avoid these delays, optimise your workflow and achieve even greater accuracy in your analyses?
You rightly expect maximum accuracy from the OELCHECK tribologists’ diagnoses. But just like a doctor assessing a patient, we are dependent on your information about the “patient”. If we have your comprehensive and correct information at our disposal, there is no need for queries and our diagnoses are even more precise.
AdBlue® and damage to SCR catalytic converters
Year of publication: 2024
AdBlue® is the technical prerequisite for operating modern diesel engines with exhaust gas after-treatment systems. However, if the AdBlue® used is “contaminated” or “unclean”, it can become a serious hazard to the SCR catalytic converters (selective catalytic reduction). In the OELCHECK laboratory, high-precision analysis is therefore not only used to check AdBlue® quality, but can also help in the event of problems or even damage to SCR catalytic converters related to the use of urea solution. The values determined in the laboratory clearly indicate the causes. And it is becoming increasingly clear: In many cases, the specifications for the correct use of the urea solution have not been observed!
