Metalworking Fluid Test (Oil-Based)

SKU: MWOB/S/P

Price range: $60 through $80

Accurate testing for oil-based metalworking fluids. Check viscosity, contamination, and additive health to protect machines and extend fluid life.

Our Oil-Based Metalworking Fluid Testing Service provides detailed analysis of fluid health, including viscosity stability, oxidation byproducts, wear metal content, particle contamination, and additive depletion. With certified testing methods, we deliver actionable insights to help you optimize performance, extend fluid service life, and maintain consistent machining quality.

What We Test For:

  • Viscosity @ 40°C & 100°C – Ensures proper film strength and lubrication.
  • Oxidation Stability & TAN (Total Acid Number) – Identifies degradation from heat and oxygen.
  • Particle Count & Wear Metals – Detects machine wear and contamination.
  • Additive Depletion – Monitors anti-wear, EP, and anti-oxidant package health.
  • Water & Contaminant Levels – Identifies ingress that can cause corrosion or foaming.

Metalworking Fluids Analysis

Description

Oil-Based Metalworking Fluid Testing 

Oil-based metalworking fluids are straight mineral oils or oils with additives (sulfur, chlorine, phosphorus) which are critical for high-performance machining, forming, and grinding operations. They provide exceptional lubrication, reduce friction, and protect both tooling and workpieces. However, over time, these fluids can degrade due to oxidation, heat, and contamination, reducing efficiency and risking costly damage to machinery.

Test Includes:

  • Basic: Bacteria, Hardness, pH, Chlorides, Free Oil, Dirt (>8micron)
  • Premium: 40C Viscosity, Water Content, ICP, Dirt (>8 Micron), Fat%, Sulfur %, TAN

From automotive and aerospace to heavy equipment manufacturing, we help you prevent downtime and ensure your fluids are performing at their best.
