Metalworking Fluids (Water-Based) Test

Metalworking Fluids (Water-Based) Test

SKU: MWWB/S/P

Price range: $60 through $100

Accurate testing for cutting metalworking fluids (water-based) package: Check viscosity, contamination, and additive health to protect machines and extend fluid life. Types of metalworking fluids: soluble coolant, water-based

Our Water-Based Metalworking Fluids Testing Service provides detailed analysis of fluid health, including viscosity stability, oxidation byproducts, wear metal content, particle contamination, and additive depletion. With certified synthetic metalworking fluids testing methods, we deliver actionable insights to help you optimize performance, extend tool 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.

Bulk order: to order more than 100 test kits, please contact your Sales Representatives or here for bulk order pricing.

Metalworking Fluids Analysis

 

Description

Metalworking Fluids (Water-based) Test

Water-based metalworking fluids are mostly water mixed with oils/additives. Types include soluble oils (emulsions), semi-synthetics, and synthetics 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)
  • Standard: Alkalinity, Bacteria, Hardness, pH, Chlorides, Free oil, Refractive Index, Dirt (>8 micron)
  • Premium: Alkalinity, Bacteria, Hardness, pH, Chlorides, Free oil, Refractive Index, Iron Chip Corrosion, Dirt (>8 micron)

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