Report Information

Key Report Information.
This section of the report shows the basic logistics of the sample, for example the Sample Number (which may be quoted in the event of any questions) ,received dates, hours on the oil and equipment, report and K numbers for the sample. The Key Sample Information Section also includes the previous status of past samples.

Results Section
This section of the report shows values of the specified tests. The results determine the characteristics & contamination in the oil due to wear or the introduction of contamination into the oil such as:

Moisture (contamination)
Dust and dirt (contamination)
Component wear (contamination)

Normalised Graphs
Trending is a very important part of the oil analysis system. Using the trending graphs with the analysis of your results will give you a far better indication of how the compartment you have sampled compares with the previous samples results. The graphed results will be different to the results in the results table. This will occur due to a normalisation factor applied to the results (for more information on normalising please refer to the Normalisation and standard deviation Section.) In short, the graphs give you the ability to compare apples with apples by adjusting the results to suit what we call standard hours (engine 200 hours & Drive and Hydraulic 500 hours.)

Customer and Equipment Info
The Equipment Details are the most crucial to the reporting process. This area dictates where the sample is from and links previous samples to the current sample.

The Operation Details give information to the Laboratory to categorise the results by oil grade and type. Did You Know 60% of failures are due to the wrong type of oil used in the compartment?

The Customer Details are also just as crucial. Without the correct details, you simply will not receive the report.

Recommendations
A brief recommendation from the analysis performed on the sample will indicate where the potential problems or in the event of failure where the actual problems lie. The benefit of this is the previous samples recommendations are also available to assist you in what action you may choose to take.
