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 underground, and above ground, strip mines often have a significant effect on mining equipment operations and the requirement for consistent maintenance to avoid potential downtime. A Predicative Maintenance Programs (PMP) for heavy Mining equipment is essential for maximizing equipment reliability and optimizing equipment life cycles.
