Mootoriõlikanalites

Mootoriõlikanalites, also known as motor oil analysis or lubricant analysis, is a diagnostic technique used to monitor the condition of internal combustion engines and other mechanical systems by examining their lubricating oils. This process involves collecting oil samples from operating machinery and analyzing their chemical and physical properties to detect potential issues before they lead to equipment failure.

The primary purpose of mootoriõlikanalites is preventive maintenance, allowing operators to identify wear metals, contamination, and oil degradation early. Key parameters analyzed include particle count, viscosity, total base number (TBN), total acid number (TAN), and the presence of elements such as iron, chromium, copper, and lead, which indicate wear or corrosion. Advanced techniques may also involve spectroscopy, ferrography, or infrared spectroscopy to assess oil condition more precisely.

Regular oil analysis helps extend equipment lifespan, reduce downtime, and lower maintenance costs. It is commonly applied in automotive, industrial, and marine sectors, where engine reliability is critical. While not a substitute for routine maintenance, mootoriõlikanalites provides valuable insights into system health, enabling data-driven decision-making for lubricant replacement and repair scheduling. Proper sampling and laboratory testing ensure accurate results, making it a reliable tool for predictive maintenance strategies.
