MRT Laboratories offers a complete line of analytical services and products designed to help you maximize your equipment run time.

Lubricant Analysis:  Lubricant analysis can be your first line of defense against premature equipment failure.  MRT Laboratories can put together a highly effective test program for your lubricants and coolants. (Click Here for more information)

Microscopic Particle Analysis:  MRT Laboratories has the equipment and experienced personnel to microscopically analyze particulates present in your lubricants.  In most cases, we can tell you not only what particulates are present, but also where they came from and how to prevent them from reoccurring.  This analysis is particularly useful when monitoring a known or suspected wear situation. (Click Here for more information)

Filter Analysis:  Problems with your filters prematurely clogging?  MRT Laboratories can analyze the filter media and determine what is the cause of the clogging.  We use spectrographic, physical, and microscopic analysis to determine the source of the problem, and help determine how to prevent it from reoccurring.

Deposit Analysis:  Deposits, scales, and sludges often form in many lubrication systems and can be very detrimental to the efficient operation of the equipment.  MRT Laboratories can analyze these deposits and help determine their source, as well as how to prevent them in the future.  (Click Here for more information)

Coolant Analysis:  Excessive heat will destroy your lubricant and lead to equipment failure.  It only stands to reason, then, to monitor your coolants as well as your lubricants.  Whether your coolants are glycol mixtures, water, or hydrocarbon fluids, they should be monitored for proper inhibitor levels, corrosion products, degradation products, and contaminants.  MRT Laboratories can design a coolant analysis program specific to your equipment needs.

Refrigerant Analysis:  Often the cause of refrigeration equipment problems is the refrigerant itself.  MRT Laboratories has a refrigerant analysis package designed to detect those problems and prevent major damage to your equipment. (Click Here for more information)

Grease Analysis: MRT Laboratories can analyze used greases for moisture content, wear particles, acid build-up, and spectrographic metals. This analysis is most useful in root cause failure analysis of greased bearings and not recommended for routine monitoring as a representative sample is difficult to obtain.  (Click Here for more information)

Diesel Fuel Analysis:  Our Diesel Fuel Analysis package consists of corrosion and contaminant metals, Viscosity, Flash Point, Copper Strip Corrosion, Karl Fischer Water Titration, Specific and API Gravities, Sediment by Filtration, and a microscopic visual check for algae and gum. If the sample results show a higher than 1A Copper Strip Corrosion, we conduct a Sulfur analysis to ensure the fuel meets low sulfur requirements. (Click Here for more information)

MRT Laboratories is fully equipped and staffed with experienced personnel to take the guesswork out of your analytical preventive/predictive maintenance programs.  Contact us for assistance in setting up an entirely new program, revising your current one, or for any of the analytical services we provide.  Our goal is to help you Maximize your equipment Run Time.
