Aviation Oil Analysis by ALS Staveley Services Fluids Analysis brings you a state-of-the-art oil analysis program designed specifically for aircraft owners. Oil analysis is an early warning system that reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and helps spot trouble before it gets serious. Performing oil testing regularly provides you with the information you need about your engine's internal condition, which allows you to locate excessively worn parts and predict potential failures. AOA also offers microscopic chip evaluation and analytical ferrography to determine the metal constituents worn in your aircraft. These tests help pinpoint the type of machine wear occurring and the possible sources of that wear. If you notice chips in your screen or your filter, contact AOA for assistance.
The price of each kit includes a mailing cylinder, a pre-addressed mailing label, a sample bottle, and an information form. If your oil analysis indicates a potentially dangerous situation, we will contact you immediately. All samples are processed within 24 hours of receipt in the lab. The AOA oil analysis kit can be used for aircraft, helicopters, or oil-wetted systems (i.e., engine, main rotor, tail rotor hydraulic, etc.).
When two or more moving parts touch, there will be friction that may result in microscopic wear from metal particles that remain suspended in the oil. When a sample of this oil is processed, the amount of suspended metal is revealed in parts per million. Identification of the nature and quantity of these metals helps determine excessively worn parts and can predict failure long before the problem would otherwise appear.
Best priced around great and speedy service!
Also is the better of the 2 options since it is rated at 5,000 psi, not that I go to that high of pressure but I like the safety and security knowing that my chances of it blowing up in my face are a whole lot better and I can also purchase replacement seals for them at the same shop!!!
I bought the DC PTT because I know and trust the DC quality/durability to hold up to using every day. And so far it’s the best PTT I’ve used. I have a couple other no-name PTTs and the cable sheathing is crumbling and falling off. The DC PTT has worked even in sub zero cabin temp conditions when I didn’t have a functioning heater. I bought two to have a spare but the first one has been working great for 300hrs so far.
