Why Fluid Testing is Necessary
All modern fluids contain additives that inhibit breakdown. As these additives become depleted, the fluid degrades and can no longer perform its intended function. Degraded fluids reduce part-to-part clearances and plug passageways, which increases friction, heat, and wear. The resulting increase in operating temperatures reduces the fluid’s ability to prevent sludge and accelerate acid build-up, promoting corrosion. The net result is higher operating and maintenance costs and shorter service life.
The Science of One Drop Test
Fluid Rx Diagnostic’s One Drop Instant Lubricant Test is a patented radial planar chromatographic analysis tool that measures additive depletion and the level of sludge or debris in a lubricant. The ISO* diagnostic chart shows how each fluid appears at various stages of degradation on the certified test sheet. All One Drop fluid diagnostics charts are correlated to laboratory analysis by Herguth SGS Laboratories.
