The test and analysis can be used to monitor the condition of lubricating oil, especially as part of your preventative maintenance, and can help you reducing unwanted and costly downtime. Operating in accordance with the universal ASTM and ISO standards, a convenient oil, fluid, and specialist analysis testing service is available for our customers in Norway.

How can the RS PRO Oil Test and Analysis help you?
By providing a testing service, unscheduled and costly downtime can be minimized or avoided, either as part of a single test and analysis exercise or an ongoing lubricant monitoring program.
In turn, this can reduce your repair and change out expenses, while improving productivity and maximizing output by extending the life of your equipment.
Long term preventative maintenance monitoring can increase cost savings and profits while feeding data that can contribute to trend identification and rectifying potential problems before they become more serious and costly issues.
