Get a Particle Count (PC) and a Total Acid Number (TAN) with your standard analysis. These tests are calibrated for industrial applications like gear oil and hydraulic oil, not engine oil. The Particle Count breaks down the number of particles present in a sample at various levels of microns.
-
Get a Total Acid Number test with your standard analysis to determine the acidity of the oil. The TAN is mainly used for transmissions, gear oils, and industrial-type applications, not engine oil. A standard sample with TAN includes:
- Spectral exam
- Viscosity
- Insolubles (total solids)
- Flashpoint (checks for fuel and other contaminants)
- Total Acid Number, which measures the the oil's acidity level
