Lubricant Analysis Kits
Send in samples of your grease, oil, or coolant, and get back a full report on the condition of both your lubricant and equipment. Samples are tested within 24 hours of arrival at the lab, and the results are emailed to you. If the lab discovers critical conditions, they will call you to provide guidance on how to address the problem. Kit includes six bottles with labels, so you can test multiple samples.
Analysis includes ferrography for traces of metal that indicate wear; infrared spectroscopy for soot, nitrogen, and other signs of oxidation; and an elemental analysis for contaminants, such as water or fuel.
Kit for testing coolant with glycol is for coolant used in most engines—it includes a test of the percentage of glycol to make sure there's the right amount in your coolant.

Viscosity Testers
Also known as Zahn cups, these testers let you calculate viscosity based on the speed at which a liquid drains through a cup with a hole at the bottom. To determine viscosity, dip the cup in a liquid until it is completely filled, lift the cup out of the liquid, and time how many seconds it takes for the liquid to drain out of the hole in the bottom. Use the included formula to convert seconds to centipoise.
