Testing of lubricants and industrial oils
Tests on lubricants and industrial oils give name to specific analyses for industrial oil sintended as lubricants, which allow the fluidity of the machines to be maintained, or intended aselectrical insulators.
At Infinitia we know the importance of this type of analysis, as they are key to the maintenance and, therefore, operation of industrial machinery.
What is a test on lubricants and industrial oils?
Through the different tests, we achieve devaluate the physicochemical characteristics of industrial oils and lubricants. In addition, this type of testing allows us to carry out a rigorous quality control internally on an ongoing basis, checking its properties and seeing how to prolong its useful life. Likewise, at the time an oil is changed, we carry out a historical which allows us to analyze its properties after its replacement.
It is worth noting that there is a regulation for industrial oils to carry out this type of testing. These specific standards are used to measure characteristics of industrial oils and lubricants such as colour, viscosity, water concentration or contaminant particles. This is the case, for example, of ASTM D5185, a standard common to all industrial oils to evaluate the contaminant metals that may appear in all of them.
At Infinitia we carry out tests on lubricants and industrial oils according to standards, but we also go a step further. We incorporate custom tests. We can adapt perfectly to what the client demands.

Types of tests on lubricants and industrial oils
In the Infinitia laboratory we differentiate between two types of tests on lubricants and industrial oils. These vary depending on the industrial oils used:
- Basic industrial oils: These industrial lubricants are used, for example, to make machine joints looser. In other words, this is key to their correct operation.
- Industrial transformer oils (dielectric oils): These dielectric lubricants are used, for example, as insulators and coolants in various transformers and industrial equipment.
We adapt to customer requests with oil analysis. Tell us what you need and we will see how to help you.
Advantages of testing lubricants and industrial oils
With these tests on industrial oils and lubricants, we achieve greater efficiency and quality in the product, which will benefit the machinery itself. With these analyses of lubricating oils, at Infinitia we manage to prolong the useful life of the machine, as well as keep a record of the internal quality control of the organization itself.
In which industries are lubricant and industrial oil testing applied?
Our tests on lubricants and industrial oils are beneficial for any type of industry. And we can add value to the various machines by rigorously analyzing the oil for industrial machines.
Likewise, our work has a place in the motor industry. Specifically, in the analysis of manufacturing oils. In the same way we can carry out our work in the electrical industry, as we accurately analyse dielectric oils or transformation oils, whose function is insulating and cooling. Find out now about this type of testing according to regulations.
We have experience in testing commercial lubricants and oils
In addition to having the necessary equipment, our staff is made up of true professionals in testing lubricants and industrial oils. We are chemical engineers and specialized chemists.
We validate these analyses of lubricants and industrial oils from a technical point of view. We do not only focus on a basic analysis, but we also provide a complete response to customer needs. Therefore we can also perform analysis of toxic components.
To do this, we have the best equipment. For example, our gas chromatography equipment or our infrared equipment, specifically for measuring the oxidation of oils. Whatever your request, the Infinitia team is here to advise you with rigor and professionalism.
