OUR SPECIALTY
Since our inception in the year 2000, R&T Reliability Technologies P/L has been developing, refining and implementing visual oil analysis, grease analysis, filter media analysis and micro imaging of contaminates. We specialise in monitoring Large Continuous Manufacturing Plants and Industrial Equipment
With our history of analysing samples from Manufacturing, Mining, and Construction industries we have developed a simple equipment monitoring system with single glance analysis results providing our customers with a ‘Root Cause Analysis Diagnosis’ on every sample.
Through our associate companies we can also provide world class vibration analysis monitoring, metallurgical analysis, scanning electron microscope analysis and root cause failure analysis type services.
OUR AIM
When monitoring critical industrial plant & manufacturing equipment R&T’s recommendations are aimed at operating critical machinery as close to “Zero Wear” as possible. We are able to analyse a sample and identify through microscopic observation contaminates and potential causes of wear. With these observations, R&T provides customers with visual images of the contamination and abnormal wear occurring in the equipment under their care. The showing of wear debris contamination images to the Equipment Maintainer provides an immediate understanding of how the machine is wearing abnormally.
Abnormal Wear Modes taken at 500X Mag 
20µm
Normal Wear Modes taken at 500X Mag 20µm
Once the remedial advice from the R&T analysis report has been implemented the Equipment Maintainer can also see from following reports the resulting reduction in abnormal wear due to their maintenance work providing 100% reliability plus, feedback and job satisfaction for maintenance staff.
