Fluid Analysis at Wyoming Machinery Company
New customer demands for Caterpillar equipment are created each day. For this reason, design criteria requires components to operate at faster speeds, higher temperature, and more extreme pressures. Monitoring of equipment parameters is now more critical than ever. Caterpillar Equipment Management Service is a tool, which uses electronic data, fluid analysis, machine inspections, and more to aid in this process. Fluid analysis is an integral part of the
EMServices
/ Condition Monitoring process.
Caterpillar SOS Services
is a fluid analysis process that was developed by Caterpillar to monitor the overall condition of Caterpillar equipment. At Wyoming Machinery Company, fluids from all different makes and brands are analyzed utilizing the Caterpillar SOS process. Technicians at the Wyoming Machinery Company lab run a number of test to determine abnormal wear, oil condition, oil contamination, and more. Data from these tests are used to monitor the machine health of engines, transmissions,
hydraulics
, final drives, gas compression engines, compressors, and more. Fluid analysis at Wyoming Machinery Company can help maintain your machine’s overall health, it can keep small problems from turning into catastrophic issues.
Our commitment is to assist customers attain low operating costs, peak performance, and top resale value. SOS analysis is an inexpensive tool that can assist with this commitment. It does not matter the brand or the type of equipment, condition monitoring via fluid analysis can be done through the Wyoming Machinery Company Fluid Analysis lab.
