Free Fluid Analysis

The question of how long a fluid will last is a common one. Because thermal fluids have so many potential applications and there are so many distinct types of systems, answering this question can be quite challenging.

However, there is a simple way for you to stay up op your fluid’s condition – take advantage of our complimentary comprehensive fluid analysis program.

Taking a proactive approach to monitor the properties of a thermal fluid from the initial fill and at regular intervals as the fluid ages allows us to detect even the smallest of problems early with time to make corrective actions to keep your fluid running for a long time and trouble-free.

And it’s FREE!

Scientists doing fluid analysis

Why you should test?


  • Help find and name system issues early on
  • No surprises – use it to set the best times for service.
  • Maintain reliability, ensure the system is ready for your next production run.
  • Maintain a safe workplace for employees.
  • Meet the needs of the insurance company or other safety regulators.
  • Because it’s free!

When you should test?


  • On the first fill or change-out to get a base reference sample
  • Larger systems: once a year or every six months
  • For smaller systems: quarterly or monthly for more demanding applications
  • Anytime the process or system is changed from original
  • If any form of contamination is suspected
  • See a drop in the system performance

What we look for?


  • A drop in the flash point is a clear sign that the fluid has been overheated, which could be dangerous.
  • Changes in the viscosity of the fluid: an indication of both oxidation and heat breakdown
  • Any rise in the TAN (Total Acid Number) is a sign of oxidation caused by air contact.
  • Any form of contamination that may be affecting the thermal fluid
