"Metal Check" by Aviation Laboratories
Aviation Laboratories Metal Check Oil Analysis Test Kit
Determine the condition of oil wetted engine parts even on the
first sample. Analysis of 12 wear metal elements for piston and
turbine engines. Oil analysis is completed in 24 hours and abnormal
results are communicated immediately. The largest results database
for every engine model has allowed for the development of accurate
interpretive guidelines. The most experienced analytical staff.
Recommended or authorized by most engine manufacturers. Pre-purchase
inspection. Postage to the laboratory is prepaid.
Why do Oil Analysis?
Oil is the aircraft engine's life blood, and can reveal its' internal
condition. Oil analysis is an early detection warning system which
can achieve the following:
- Reduce
unplanned aircraft downtime and allow for scheduled maintenance
and repairs.
- Lower
maintenance costs by repairing minor problems before they
become major, or even catastrophic.
- Help
pinpoint microscopic evidence of metal wear in the engine.
When two
or more moving parts touch, there will be friction resulting
in microscopic wear from metal particles which remain suspended
in the oil. When a sample of this oil is processed through an
atomic absorption spectrometer, the amount of suspended metal
is revealed in the oil analysis. Identification of the nature
and quantity of this metal wear debris helps to determine excessively
worn parts and can predict failure long before the problem would
otherwise appear.
Most aircraft
owners regularly run compression checks on their engines, however
this is not enough for a thorough preventive maintenance program.
An engine compression check indicates the condition of each
cylinder at the time of the check. Compression loss in the cylinders,
for all practical purposes, translates to loss of engine power.
So in essence the compression check tells you about wear or
damage that has already taken place.
An oil analysis program will give
you vital information to help prevent excessive wear before
it occurs and enable you to better schedule regular maintenance
checks that will put you in the "fix before failure"
mode.
Lower your
maintenance costs by repairing minor problems before they become
major, or even catastrophic. Order your Oil analysis kit today
and take your preventative maintenance program to the next level.
Safety in the air starts with a good preventative maintenance
program on the ground.
