A lab report with no indication of water content
Year of publication: 2023
In our laboratory reports, you have always until now reported a value for the water content in %, which was determined using FT-IR. For the first time, we have now had a polyglycol-based oil analysed with one of your all-inclusive standard sets and this value is missing from the laboratory report. Is there a reason for this?
Don't worry, we haven't forgotten the value for water using FT-IR (%)! With your polyglycol oil, it is just not expedient to determine the water content using this method. And there are reasons for this, as well as an alternative option!
Storage and handling of lubricants – 9 rules and no errors
Year of publication: 2023
Every day, lubricants ensure the reliable operation and service life of machines and systems around the world. To achieve this, the properties of the various lubricants are precisely matched to the components to be lubricated, the operating conditions and maintenance requirements. Everything could be so simple, but unfortunately it’s not. When storing and handling lubricants alone, errors repeatedly occur and can cause a variety of problems. This can be avoided by proper handling of oils and greases. Nine simple rules help!
Fuel all-inclusive analysis kit
Year of publication: 2023
OELCHECK is expanding its range with new all-inclusive analyses for almost all types of fuel. We have partnered with ASG Analytik-Service AG to bring to market all-inclusive analysis kits for petrol, synthetically produced e-fuels, EL heating oil and aviation and marine fuels from January 2023. All tests included shall be carried out pursuant to the applicable specifications set out by the DIN, ISO or ASTM standards. And this also applies to diesel, too.
By expanding our range, OELCHECK now offers all-inclusive analyses from a single source, whether you need to analyse oils, lubricating greases, fuels, coolants or AdBlue.
Joining forces with ASG
OELCHECK continues its tradition of analysing fuels in its own laboratory in Brannenburg (Upper Bavaria). Some parameters, however, are now also being examined by our partner ASG. OELCHECK has entered into a new partnership with ASG to this end. Founded in 1992, Analytik-Service GmbH (and since 2021, Analytik-Service AG; ASG for short) is a DAkkS-accredited testing laboratory for fuel analyses based in Neusäß, near Augsburg. They have focused on both fossil fuels and renewables from the very beginning. Alongside standard and special analyses for liquid, solid and gaseous motor and heating fuels, their portfolio also includes the manufacture of test fuels and quality assurance materials.
