09 Dec 2014
TurbineCHECK™ supports turbine operations and improves reliability with expert turbine lubricant testing and condition monitoring expertise.
(Orlando) Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety services to a wide range of industries around the world, is launching TurbineCHECK, a new global service testing oils, grease and related hydraulic fluids in large turbines.
Turbine oil testing is a proven loss prevention technique and forms part of an effective predictive condition-based maintenance program.
TurbineCHECK provides a full suite of turbine lubricant, fluid, grease, and particle analysis services to assist owners and operators in identifying potential component failures before they occur, helping to keep turbine systems up and running, reducing the risk of expensive damage, down-time, and repairs.
With a single point of contact for all turbine lubricant testing requirements, power generation and distribution, operators have simple, rapid, and easy access to Intertek’s full range of accredited testing, expert consultancy advice, and interpretation of test results.
Mr. Robert Chapman, Global Business Manager for TurbineCHECK, said, “Large turbines are in operation across the world, and in a wide range of demanding environments. Intertek’s global service footprint provides turbine clients in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and the Americas with reliable testing and trend analysis. By routinely testing turbine lubricants we help identify potential oil-related problems before they occur, reducing disruptions and keeping unscheduled maintenance to a minimum."
Intertek’s global team of lubricant testing experts provides clients with safe and secure online reports, delivering important condition and trending information with fully interpreted results, along with simple and easy-to-understand summaries and recommendations.
