Moisture, corrosion and oxidation are common contaminants that will affect the functionality of brake fluid and braking systems. Introduction of moisture or water into brake fluid can cause an adverse operating condition by increasing the functioning temperature of the fluid. Brake fluid is designed to operate at high temperatures due to heat generated during the braking process. Water contamination will reduce the lower the boiling point of brake fluid therefore causing less effectiveness of the fluid and the potential for brake failure. Along with moisture, we also test oil contamination and glycol content.

The harsh conditions of logging or harvesting timber have a significant effect on forestry & timber equipment. These operating conditions cause wear on the equipment and require consistent maintenance to avoid costly downtime. A Predictive Maintenance Programs (PMP) for forestry equipment is essential for maximizing equipment reliability and optimizing equipment life cycles.
