Our Maintenance Strategies

With condition-based maintenance, AGAT personnel can:

• Provide you with early warning signs of failure.
• Monitor the condition of your equipment and lubricants.
• Reduce unscheduled down-time.
• Determine optimum oil drain periods.

We recommend being proactive in your maintenance so that we can:

• Identify the root cause of failures.
• Monitor contaminants and identify possible sources.
• Eliminate the source of contamination resulting in longer equipment life.
• Identify minor problems before they become major failures.
• Protect warranties by identifying problems prior to warranty expiration.

WebOASIS

At AGAT Laboratories, we provide a software package that allows clients access to view and maintain their results via the internet. You can update information, obtain laboratory data, view and print historical trends of your analytical data, submit samples and assign corrective actions with WebOASIS. This program instantaneously transfers data and results free-of-charge, with no installations necessary.

WebOASIS has the ability to change unit information (i.e. serial number or hours/kilometers of operation) online. Drag and drop functionality makes it simple to move equipment from location to location, unit to unit. This enables you to group units by data requirements such as location, component or any other criteria required. The system will allow further groupings of each of the data groups to include items such as engine type and transmission types.

WebOASIS users can also enter and submit their own samples online, enhancing sample information accuracy and analysis turn-around time.

Aviation Fuel Certification

Fuel quality is vital to the safety of an aircraft. AGAT Laboratories offers Aviation Fuel Certification to ensure fuel meets relevant specifications and is free of unapproved additives and other contaminants. This service is routinely done for rush turn-around times and often over weekends and holidays.

Diesel and Gasoline Check

When dealing with large amounts of fuel, it is important to understand the quality of the product being used. This is because fuel is such an important part of the engine's operation. For this reason, fuel that may be suspect due to age or storage conditions is recommended to be checked, especially considering the consistently rising pump prices.
