Coolant Analysis
Our coolant testing analysis experts provide hundreds of analysis for in-service monitoring of coolant systems and failure analysis. Coolant testing and analysis can save you the expense of over or under maintaining your fleet’s engine coolant systems. In cases where there is an unexplained coolant system failure use Herguth Laboratories, Inc to perform an analysis of the coolant and deposits to determine the root cause. Coolant testing and analysis makes good sense from a cost and environmental point of view. Why change the coolant when it is still good. On the other hand, leaving coolant in the system past its useful life will cause damage.
Testing will determine the ratio of antifreeze, supplemental additive levels, pH, contamination and more.
Identification of coolant system problems can often be traced back to the coolant failure.
Coolant testing and analysis for warranty and insurance claims saves our customers thousands of dollars by knowing what really happened. As stated in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) coolant analysis publication; in most North American coolant formulations, the corrosion inhibition of heat-rejecting aluminum surfaces is provided by alkali metal silicates. But their tendency towards polymerization, leading to gelation and/or precipitation, can reduce the effectiveness of a coolant. Often this precipitation is thought to be from an external source to the cooling system. The insured may think it’s from a vandal or a failure of the cooling system under warranty. It is easy enough to confirm what the problem was if you use laboratory analysis. Herguth Laboratories, Inc. is dedicated to providing a professional, quality-oriented working environment based on trust and respect.
