Tribology Testing
What Is Tribology Testing
Tribology is the study of the friction, lubrication, and wear of interacting surfaces. At Pentas Flora Laboratory, we provide monitoring and evaluation services for used and in-service oil to optimize your lubricant oil consumption, to protect expensive machinery from costly repairs and downtime. Tribology testing is a crucial part of your machinery preventive maintenance. As a machinery health check, it identifies potential problems and allows the user to take necessary mitigation actions to avoid serious damage.
We can offer a customised package to suit your specific needs. Besides our own experienced chemists and consultant, we have also procured the expertise of Dr H. Earnest Henderson, a US-based Consultant Tribologist to provide professional interpretation of tribology results.
