Fluids Analysis

MONITOR THE LIFEBLOOD OF YOUR MACHINE

Whether you’re new to sampling or a seasoned pro, a Do It Yourself (DIY) customer or prefer to let Butler handle it all for you — Fluids Analysis is here for you. We’re focused on one goal: looking out for the health of your products and the bottom line of your operation, every day. We provide full fluids analysis testing options for oil, coolant, and fuel samples out of our state-of-the-art laboratory in Bismarck, ND.

OIL ANALYSIS – SPOT PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN
When it comes to oil testing, visual inspections are limited to the larger particles. Butler Fluids Analysis tests can spot early signs of damaging wear metals, the condition of your oil, overall particle analysis, and identify contaminants that hurt performance (water, fuel, glycol, dirt, etc). Our technicians perform comprehensive analysis on lubricated systems (engines, transmissions, hydraulics, final drives, differentials, gearboxes, compressors).

COOLANT ANALYSIS – KEEP YOUR MACHINE RUNNING SMOOTHLY
Cooling system testing is often overlooked, but the damage that could occur from overheating won’t be overlooked or forgotten. Coolant testing is an easy check to determine whether your coolant has the right chemical balance for maximum system protection and cooling efficiency. We offer two levels of testing for coolant. The first level checks routine characteristics, whereas the second level check provides more in-depth analysis.

FUEL ANALYSIS – YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN
Don’t forget about your diesel fuel. Poor-quality fuel can affect how your equipment performs—including abnormal wear of components, valves, valve guides, piston rings, etc. This has bottom-line impacts on your maintenance and operating costs.

OIL AND COOLANT SAMPLING HAS NEVER BEEN SIMPLER

We’ve simplified our Do-It-Yourself Sample Kits. One kit can now be utilized for either oil or coolant samples. Available for single purchase or by the case. Samples can be dropped off at your Butler store or mailed in.
