Cylinder Drain Oil Laboratory Oil Service
Laboratory scrape down oil analysis from CMT provides comprehensive testing of the oil samples with a full set of data and a diagnostic statement from a tribology engineer.
- 100 ml sample-bottle (prepaid)
- Addressed envelope to return the sample bottle to our lab
- Sample Information Form with barcode label
- Laboratory tests: All samples are analysed and diagnosed by the end of the next business day. (As long as the samples arrive at our laboratory before noon, in our prepaid sample bottle with a correctly filled out sample information form).
- Laboratory report complete with a highly detailed diagnostic statement (prepared by a mechanical engineer)
- Dispatch of the laboratory report via mail, email, fax or data-file
- Online-recall of all laboratory reports and analysis data
You will get a detailed lab report completed with a very detailed diagnostic statement prepared by a tribology engineer. It will be an one page report per sample with a simple rating system which quickly alerts you to problems with your oil or equipment.
There is no need for you to work through a long report of several pages. The report contains a historical look at the last 4 samples with the complete history available from our web server (including trend graphs). If you have
any questions relating to your report or equipment you can call one of our service engineers to discuss your results and provide advice. The lab report will be sent to you by mail, email or fax as agreed with you.
It is possible to get the current lab reports even faster and to have, at the same time, a comparison with earlier analysed samples.
If you require your results sooner, instead of waiting for an e-mail, fax or mail you can directly log on to our fire wall protected web server. Where, as soon as we have evaluated your sample, we inform you by e-mail that the results are available. You can see the analysis results in the original version of the lab report and print it or forward it to interested parties.
This service offers you to:
- Easily check online data entry for new samples
- Quickly view of all your samples
- Check sample status
- Display all lab reports
- Translate lab reports into different languages
- Forward lab reports via e-mail
- Graphically view trend analysis values for individual samples
- Display of the IR spectrum and other diagrams
- View photos of the sample and the inside of the cap / lid
- View photos of the spot test, solid contaminants and much more
The CMT SDA laboratory report in cooperation with OelCheck is a compact data set showing the complete details for all cylinders. Even at first glance, it provides essential information about where action needs to be taken.
A matrix provides further information about the state of the cylinder oils, the lubricant feed rate in each cylinder, additives and alkalinity reserve, viscosity and abrasion, as well as other impurities such as cat fines, water, soot, silicon and metals such as nickel and vanadium. Under a separate heading, the values for iron particles, chrome, copper and the PQ index (value for magnetic iron particles) are shown as important
indicators of any wear.

Diagrams will illustrate the results as a trend. An experienced diagnostic engineer proposes further measures in an Individual comment.
The new SDA laboratory report contributes substantially to the costeffective and reliable operation of your engine. The informative laboratory reports are prepared in a clear and well structured form.
They contain not only the data for the current samples, but also the values of up to the four previous examinations. This provides the user with a basic overview of the operation of the engine and the performance of the cylinder oil.
The oil itself is an excellent data medium which is full of valuableinformation if tested correctly and the findings actioned. This information highlights the condition of the oil and the machine, enabling you to identify the optimal moment for an oil change. Wear particles can be directly related or assigned to a damaged part of a given machine giving information of the condition of the plant and providing early warnings in the fight to reduce and prevent damage.
The CMT Marine Oil Test Service is a comprehensive insight into the functioning of your engine. It covers analysis of the combustion process, cylinder oil feed rates, fuel problems and identification of potential issues such as piston and liner wear, incomplete combustion and crankcase system oil analysis. In particular, we work very hard to minimize your costs related to oil consumption and feed rate. It is not in the interest of CMT to let you spend more on lubrication than necessary.
CMT has formed a strategic partnership with a certified and accredited laboratory with over 15 years experience in used oil lab analysis. A database of more than one million used oil samples from more than fifteen thousand customers all over the world and our cooperation with lube oil suppliers and engine manufacturers allows us to give you appropriate independent recommendations based on the oil analysis.

The Independent Marine Oil Laboratory Test Service works with the following test methods for standard engine oils.
Note: Many other tests can be done as needed. The above are typical test methods for engine oils. Hydraulic oil, gear oils and some others may require additional testing, which will be carried out as required.
