SAMPLING & ANALYSISYour report connects laboratory measurements to the refrigerant, lubricant, and equipment you sampled. Reviewed results stay with the sample’s history in your customer portal.
See the sample and system identity, refrigerant composition, measured contaminants, applicable specifications, and the laboratory’s reviewed findings.
View an illustrative refrigerant report →Oil reports can include wear and additive elements, viscosity, acid number, water, ferrous content, particle results, and laboratory observations. Parameter selection depends on the agreed test scope.
Use two or more samples from the same component and asset to build a trend. Record oil and equipment hours, sampling point, and maintenance changes.
A liquid-phase analysis for refrigerant purity and contamination, with results reviewed against the applicable AHRI 700 specifications.
Gas chromatography identifies refrigerant composition and other refrigerants present.
Water content, reported in parts per million, measured by Karl Fischer titration.
Residue and oil content reported as a percentage by weight.
Acidity results help identify contamination in the refrigerant sample.
A turbidity check for chloride contamination.
Visual examination for solids and other visible contamination.
Non-condensable gas testing uses a separate vapor sample when required. Confirm the refrigerant designation and required test scope with the lab before collecting samples.
Refrigeration oil analysis connects the condition of the lubricant with the compressor it protects. Available testing covers the groups below; the lab confirms the parameters for your sample.
Elemental results help the lab assess wear, additive content, and contamination.
Kinematic viscosity describes the oil’s resistance to flow.
Visual observations document the condition of the sample.
Acid number and water measurements add context to the oil’s condition.
Ferrous measurements help characterize iron-bearing wear material.
Particle analysis can distinguish cutting, sliding, fatigue, and non-metallic particles.
Build useful trends by testing two or more samples from the same component and asset, recording the sample point and service history each time. Oil analysis is separate from AHRI refrigerant testing.
Keep the sample ID, asset, compressor, and collection date consistent between your label and registration. Each report is released through the laboratory’s review workflow before it appears in your account.
