Every type of equipment will have different tests that should be performed to monitor its health. We will break down a few common types and the associated basic and some specific oil analysis tests that should be performed.
Diesel/Gasoline Engines (can be further broken down into on-road, stationary, aviation, landfill, and marine)
Basic (monthly tests)
Gearboxes (can be broken down into industrial or automotive)
Hydraulics
Turbines and Compressors
We did not dive into Electrical oils, heat transfer oil, circulating oils, metalworking fluids, or seal oils, but these will have similar type tests and some special tests as well.
