Oil Purification Systems (OPS) (www.ops-1.com), developer and manufacturer of the OPS-1 on-board fluid cleaning system, announced a partnership with POLARIS Laboratories to perform oil testing and analysis as part of the OPS Tru-Test fluid analysis program. Fluid analysis provides a snapshot of what is happening inside equipment installed with an OPS system, and allows companies to safely extend oil drain intervals, extend equipment life, and minimize downtime by identifying minor problems before they become major failures.
The OPS Tru-Test program uses fluid analysis to identify dirt, wear particles, and other contaminants that can cause failure or prematurely shorten equipment life. Fluid analysis with POLARIS provides a solutions-based approach to maintenance backed by ISO 17025 A2LA accreditation — the highest level of quality attainable by a testing laboratory. This ensures that fluid analysis results are accurate, repeatable, and traceable to a standard, and that all maintenance recommendations are useful and actionable. The Tru-Test program also allows OPS customers to access testing analysis and results quickly using POLARIS' HORIZON software. This online reporting site provides data analysis reports almost immediately after the lab processes a sample and interprets the results.
