MRG Labs has experience in testing greases, oils, hydraulic fluids, and coolants for Agriculture and Construction equipment. MRG Labs can additionally perform in-depth and highly magnified inspection of parts and components, including unknown material verification, root-cause failure analysis, and micro-surface topography imaging and evaluation.
OIL SAMPLING
Since the hydraulic systems are frequently shared with implements, agriculture is posed a unique challenge. A farmer often connects two pieces of equipment for loading and transporting their goods. If there is a contamination problem or wearing components in the implement, those issues will spread into the hydraulic system of whichever piece of equipment it is being connected to.
Knowledge and understanding of the use and environment of agricultural equipment gives MRG Labs an advantage over other lab options. Beyond that, MRG has experience in isolating unknown particles and determining source material for corrective actions.
FILTRATION SYSTEMS
MRG Labs additionally offers filter analysis, which can be a valuable service for equipment owners. Microscopic evaluation of filter surfaces can reveal filter damage that is not visible to the naked eye and identify the type and severity of particles captured, both wear and contaminants. Filter analysis allows for the assessment of wear particles from inside engines or hydraulic system without disassembly. It additionally addresses when a more in depth disassembly may be necessary.
The condition of agriculture and construction equipment is important to us. Equipment manufacturers and service providers can partner with MRG Labs to ensure lower internal costs, develop new revenue streams, and strengthen customer relationships by sharing important information about their critical equipment.
