16 Apr 2013

(Columbus) Intertek, the leading quality solutions provider to industries worldwide, is exhibiting its global lubricant and oil condition monitoring (OCM) testing services and expertise at the NORIA Reliable Plant 2013 conference in Columbus, Ohio, USA, April 15 to 18, 2013. Intertek's exhibit is located at space 309.

The NORIA Reliable Plant conference supports manufacturing and other industries by providing an in-depth forum focused on oil and lubricant analysis, machinery productivity optimization, lubrication condition quality, and related operational challenges.

Intertek OCM laboratories provide expert lubricant analysis, used-oil testing, and oil conditioning monitoring services from global, purpose-built laboratories equipped with modern testing instrumentation, including sample handling robotic systems.

Oil condition monitoring identifies risks for potential damage to expensive machinery and systems. By measuring wear-metals and other components, Intertek analysts detect spot lubricant and machine quality and operational problems early and assist customers avoid expensive repairs and shutdowns. Lubricant test data reviewed by Intertek OCM professionals provides customers with early-warning "damage prevention" capabilities, catching problems before they become costly failures.

Shipping of customer lubricant samples is easy to arrange with prompt testing and reporting to clients.

Steve Bee, Global OCM Business Line Manger, said,"Intertek's global oil condition monitoring programs and lubricant analysis expertise is on display at Reliable Plant. We invite attendees to visit our exhibit to discuss their particular interests, challenges and questions with Intertek OCM and lubricant quality experts."
