Monitor lubricant trends, not just snapshot results!

When analyzing a lubricant, the measurement itself is important. But what truly counts is how the results change over time.

A slightly out-of-range value may be acceptable…

A rapidly deteriorating value can be critical, even if it is still “within limits”.

This is why effective condition monitoring relies on trend analysis, not just isolated measurements.

Here is our recommendation :

• Keep a history of your analyses
  A simple table allows helps reveal deviations: rising TAN, depleting BN, gradual water ingress…

• Compare results with your own historical data
  Each piece of equipment has its own operating profile. What matters is detecting what changes.

• Act as soon as the trend is alarming, even slightly
  A gradual drift often indicates an emerging failure long before it becomes visible

• Test at regular intervals
  A single test shows the current condition. Regular monitoring reveals the true health of the equipment over time

The key to successful predictive maintenance?

Don’t wait for failure: anticipate it by monitoring lubricant trends.
