FUEL ANALYSIS
Fuel Analysis can solve several performance problems, such as filter plugging, power loss or poor injector performance. Testing bulk fuel storage tanks can verify compliance with required supplier specifications and determine the fluid's suitability for use.

COOLANT ANALYSIS

Coolant Analysis takes the guess work out of properly maintaining a cooling system and can identify maintenance problems before catastrophic engine failure occurs. Regular coolant testing and routine maintenance can help you achieve maximum system efficiency and save you time and money in less downtime, fewer repairs and determining proper drain intervals.

A cooling system is subject to pitting, corrosion, cavitation, erosion and electrolysis. Although coolants are formulated to help prevent these problems from occurring, coolant analysis will identify them if present and determine if the coolant you're using is providing adequate protection.

• Rust, which can accelerate wear, reduce heat transfer efficiency and eventually clog the system

• Scale and deposit formations that can act as insulators, which form barriers for proper heat transfer

• Oxidation which can lead to rust

Organic acid coolant testing also monitors carboxylic acid to determine if enough is present for the proper chemical reactions to occur. If a carboxylic acid test fails, non-compatible coolant or fluid could be present.
