Machine Condition Monitoring for Rail Applications

Machine condition monitoring based on oil analysis has become an important, if not mandatory, maintenance practice by the transportation industry. An effective oil analysis program will keep important transportation industry assets such as engines in gearboxes in trains, buses and any other oil-wetted machinery in operation by reducing unexpected failures and costly unscheduled downtime.

Spectro Scientific has supplied analytical instruments to the transportation industry throughout the world to enhance existing oil analysis programs. In some cases, Spectro Scientific supplied an entire turnkey oil analysis laboratory to implement a program from the beginning. Many more transportation companies, rather than having an in-house laboratory, send their samples to commercial laboratories using Spectro instruments. We welcome the opportunity to continue to be of service to existing customers and to assist new customers with their oil analysis instrumentation requirements.
