USED OIL and WASTE OIL TESTING
Excellent used oil testing and monitoring can make your engine work efficiently and smoothly. CVR Labs is your trusted partner for advanced waste oil testing. We help in ensuring the quality of oils by using modern technology and equipment. Here, we’ll introduce you to used oil testing, the specifics of all the tests available, and explain the relevance of the physical & chemical data.
What is used oil and waste oil testing?
It is an important activity that examines the condition, quality, and contaminants of oils and lubricants that have been used in a wide range of applications.
Why is used oil and waste oil testing required?
Lubricants are essential to the majority of mechanical systems. An effective lubricant can significantly extend a system’s operating life. used oil and waste oil is necessary to ensure that heavy-duty equipment works smoothly and for an extended period. Testing for fuel, lubricant, used oil, and used lubricant, are all included in this testing.
This testing also ensures that waste oil and lubricants are effectively handled and disposed of, reducing environmental impact and guaranteeing compliance with regulations.
Environmental Protection:
It helps in the prevention of incorrect waste oil disposal, which may contaminate land and water, and it promotes responsible waste management.
Regulatory Compliance:
Compliance with waste oil disposal legislation and standards is crucial for companies to avoid legal consequences.
Quality Assurance:
Quality assurance testing can determine if used oil can be regenerated or recycled.
Used and Waste oil Testing Parameters
CVR Labs offers a range of tests to analyze used oil and waste oil samples for various parameters, covering physical & chemical aspects. Here is a comprehensive overview of the available parameters:
PHYSICAL PARAMETERS
| PHYSICAL PARAMETERS | DESCRIPTION | USE |
|---|---|---|
Oil Viscosity | Measurement of oil viscosity | Assesses the thickness and flow properties of the oil, which affect lubrication performance. |
Oil Density | Measurement of oil density | Indicates the oil's mass per unit volume, influencing its behaviour in different applications. |
Oil Color | Evaluation of oil color | Detects unusual coloration, which may indicate contamination or degradation. |
CHEMICAL PARAMETERS
| CHEMICAL PARAMETERS | DESCRIPTION | USE |
|---|---|---|
Oxidation Stability | Assessment of oil oxidation stability | Determines the oil's resistance to oxidation and aging, impacting performance and longevity. |
Additive Contamination | Detection of additive contamination in oil | Identifies foreign substances in the oil that can affect its intended function. |
Water Content | Measurement of water content in oil | Identifies the presence of water, which can be harmful and reduce lubrication quality. |
| Acid and base number | Ash content |
|---|---|
Density | Fire point |
Flash point | Gasoline Diluents |
Gross Calorific Value | Neutralization number |
Saponification Value | Sediment |
Sulphur | Total Halogens |
Viscosity 100OC | Viscosity 40OC |
Viscosity at 50oC | Water Content (ASTM D: 6304-e1) |
Water content (ASTM D:95-05) | Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCB), as per EPA 525, 525.1 mix |
Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), as per EPA 610 mix |
