Approved Oil Analysis Laboratory For Testing Acidity Of Oil?

[buddy]

Dear All,

I have a requirement to get some refrigeration oil analysed for percentage acidity content.

Does any body know of or can recommend an oil testing lab in Bangkok that is approved and operates to international standards?

I am not sure if you need to go that route and spend that much. They have testing kits that I used in the states for testing acids in HVAC oils.

Now I am not sure were to find them in Thailand. I would look for any of the bigger HVAC parts supply houses. They should have them.

It is usually a two part kit. You have one tub that comes empty. You fill to a line with oil and add the contents from the other tub to it and shack. There is a color strip that comes with it and you compare the color on the strip to the oil mixture. If it turns to purple you have acid. Thats when the work begins and your wallet opens if it is a big system you are trying to save.

If you want you can PM me if you have any questions. I have been in the HVAC field 30 years.

Did you try to contact SGS - they do a lot of testing for us but for different products ...
