ANAC lube oil analysis can be used alongside other condition-based maintenance methods in order to:

• Monitor changes in the oil's state
• Assess machine operating conditions
• Minimize maintenance costs
• Reduce production downtime
• Plan the maintenance operations
• Optimize oil drain intervals
• Ensure that the lubricant is the best suited for the application and operating conditions.
• Identify possible pollution sources

• Application, e.g. Hydraulic
• Industry, e.g. paper industry
• Machine characteristics
  • Criticality
  • Tank capacity
  • Operating conditions
• Previous analyses:
  • Oil history
  • Machine history
• Remarks and comments written by the user
