Lubricant analysis involves assessing lubricating oils and greases in industries to ensure they work well, identify problems, and maintain machinery. It includes chemical analysis, viscosity measurement, wear debris analysis, spectroscopy, particle count, ferrous density analysis, and microscopic examination. This helps ensure proper lubrication, detect contaminants, and predict equipment issues for proactive maintenance.
