Petroleum Products Testing & Inservice Oil Monitoring
Wimpey Laboratories provides petroleum chemical testing, supporting the manufacturing and petrochemical industries. Our accurate and reliable results assist inspection bodies to ensure import and export quality standards of the region are met.
Petroleum products testing comprises of quality analysis of different lubricants and fuels such as Diesel fuel, Aviation fuel, turbine oil, Bunker oil, Crude oil, Engine oil, Coolant, Gear oil, ATF oil, Hydraulic fluid, Brake fluid & Base oil.
Our Inservice oil monitoring program (ISOM) helps the endusers to monitor the health of machinery/equipment. The trend analysis and expert opinion derived from our ISOM program helps in the early detection of fault in the equipment and thereby helps the enduser to take corrective action in advance to ensure durability and efficiency of the equipment.

Used coolant analysis is a proactive maintenance technique used to monitor the condition of engine coolant while it is in use. The analysis involves collecting a sample of the used coolant and subjecting it to various tests to evaluate the condition of the coolant and the engine. The tests typically include the measurement of key parameters such as pH, freeze point, boiling point, corrosion inhibitors, and metal content.
