SWEPCO Laboratory Oil Analysis

SWEPCO LOA is a Laboratory Oil Analysis Program for the exclusive use of SWEPCO Customers as part of a complete predictive/proactive maintenance program. In addition to determining fluid cleanliness, wear particle trends and early warning of potential machinery trouble or unexpected failure, SWEPCO Customers have extended their drain intervals as much as 2, 3, 4, 5 times longer through the use of SWEPCO Lubricants and this cost-free program. LOA KIT

Southwestern Petroleum has developed a detailed method of testing to determine accurately and efficiently the drain interval for lubricants. We have made submitting samples for testing in the SWEPCO laboratory Oil Analysis Program as simple as possible. Everything that you need to submit a sample is included in the LOA Kit. This free program, coupled with the use of SWEPCO's high performance lubricants, is sure to improve your lubricant drain intervals dramatically.

State of the art equipment and methods, including Inductivity Coupled Plasma (ICP) Spectrophotometry for metallic elements and Fournier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Analysis for molecular analysis of used lubricants, coupled with a retained Trend History for each piece of equipment insures maximum lubricant performance and fluid cleanliness.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

Reliable monitoring of high fluid cleanliness

Early warning of impending machine failures

Early notice of changing lubricant properties

Longest life from your lubricants

Allows proactive maintenance program

Takes the guesswork out of lubricant management

Reduces oil consumption and oil disposal costs

Increases the reliability of your lubrication program

The SWEPCO LOA Program provides the opportunity to save money through maximum lubricant life while maintaining safe equipment lubrication. The program eliminates the guesswork involved in establishing lubrication schedules, and most importantly warns of impending equipment failure in time for corrective action to be taken.
