Early detection means frequent detection. While daily one-minute visual inspections are beneficial, many questions remain, including where and how you inspect, what the observed conditions mean and how you penetrate a machine’s exoskeleton exterior without X-ray vision.

There are three important inspection zones in common oil reservoirs and sumps. These zones have a story to tell about your oil and machine. They might be difficult to reach, but difficult does not mean impossible and certainly doesn’t mean unnecessary.

  2. Bottom sediment and water (BS&W) zone
  3. Color and clarity (C&C) zone
