A proper oil testing lab should be used in addition with a host of other diagnostic methods to properly maintain and manage the various components of any modern industrial complex. Used properly with other competent tools it will allow your team to asses what is the best course of action to extend the life of your equipment.

A good viscosity testing will have many things in common, and it can be calibrated to meet the specific needs of your business. The newest labs are easy to use, made of sturdy materials, compact, portable, simple to transport, very safe, cost effective, and extremely accurate.

A good oil test lab will take into account where it will be conducting the tests, and whether this will be used by researchers or engineers, and what type of environments the test will be performed in. For instance, a kit that is used on a deepwater drilling platform will have much different needs than one that is located in the heart of a research and development facility, and while both need to work well the one on the remote rig needs to be much more durable and self contained.

If the oil viscosity is going to be used in a industrial research facility than it is going to value being high tech over durability, however if the cutting edge research is going to be performed in various field sites then it needs to be both state of the art and be able to handle rough treatment and being frequently transported to different locations. This may increase the amount of your initial investment, but you will gain the peace of mind knowing that your engineers will be able to diagnosis issues reliably, and they will also be able to depend on the gear that they need to properly do their jobs.

Finally, you need to consider who will be administering these tests because industrial engineers have different concerns than a scientist, and while both types of employees play pivotal roles in your business, each one is going to have a different set of jobs to perform, and will need a different palette of diagnostic tools to complete their objectives.
