Wind Turbine (Grease) Test

GREASE Analysis for ALL Type Of Equipment

Condition-based grease analysis can identify changes in grease consistency, viscosity and oxidation stability and help in determining its remaining useful life. Contamination, base oil depletion and a variety of mechanical issues can affect grease’s ability to remain in contact with and protect metal surfaces.

Routine testing and analysis can determine:

• Bearing Condition – extent of wear
• Grease Condition – normal, oxidized, contamination present
• System Condition – contamination present, type
• Re-greasing Frequency – application intervals.
• Greasing Capacity – volume of grease for optimum machine performance

A large percentage of component bearings are lubricated with grease, which consists of base oil, a thickener and additives. The base oil can have a mineral, synthetic or even vegetable origin. Testing ensures that all three are working together so that the grease is providing maximum metal protection.

Standard Wind Grease Package: Tests grease for appearance, elemental composition, PQ index, and oxidation or cross-contamination using FTIR.

Premium Wind Grease Package: Provides a comprehensive analysis including all standard tests plus advanced performance indicators to assess grease condition, contamination, and remaining service life.
