Capability Statement

Everything from a single source: By leveraging processes for approval and conformity testing and conducting operational testing routines as well as numerous condition analyses of various grades of lubricating grease, we are your competent partner in this application area. Accredited test procedures: The proficiency of our test laboratories in Munich for testing in the following areas was flexibly accredited by Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS): physical, physical-chemical and chemical analyses of lubricants, fuels and insulating oils; element quantification in lubricants via wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis; tribological examinations of lubricants; sampling of lubricants and fuels. We can realise the following test conditions: – State-of-the-art analytical methods – Application of innovative methods such as thermal analysis, rheology and tribologic measuring cells – Development of technical specifications – Development of application-specific test procedures – Approval tests in accordance with technical specifications – Conformity tests for quality monitoring of lubricated greases – Approval tests in accordance with DIN EN 12081 – Condition analysis of lubricating greases for optimising maintenance intervals – Cost-effective processes by way of LIMS application Condition analysis of lubricants and transformer oils used in operation: As experts in the field of lubricant, fuel and insulating oil analysis, we provide you with professional services for monitoring and maintaining your resources, vehicles and components. Our analyses are a major factor in condition assessment, a tool for early diagnosis and the prevention of damage to your components, and thus make a major contribution to ensuring smooth operation and operational safety. Such condition analyses also form the basis for optimising your maintenance costs by facilitating condition-dependent servicing frequencies. Quality assurance in lubricant supply: A supply of high-quality lubricants to ensure faultless operation is essential to every energy supply company. We develop specifications and test procedures, conduct approval tests and check each batch of safety and operationally relevant lubricants for compliance with the relevant requirements before delivery. We attempt to qualify several providers for each type and grade of lubricant and audit these manufacturers. Compatibility tests: Can I mix greases? What interactions are there with the seal? Why does the system no longer work? We answer these and many other questions by carrying out compatibility tests, for example, which are also appropriately included in the DB specifications. To this end, we blend mixtures in various proportions and conduct application-specific tests. Elastomer compatibility can be tested using original components to obtain direct results for the application. DB Systemtechnik is QMS certified to the ISO 9001 standard.
