Standby Generators

Your emergency generators must work when you need them. Degraded lubricants, fuels, and coolants can lead to failures, downtime, and costly repairs.

SGS provides expert fluid testing to keep your standby generators running efficiently in hospitals, businesses, and government facilities. Our ASTM and other industry standards-compliant testing helps ensure compliance with NFPA 110 Part 8.3.7 Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems and NFPA 110 Healthcare Facilities and Life Safety Codes.

Maximize efficiency & prevent downtime with SGS

Ensure your critical building systems run at peak performance with expert fluid testing from SGS. We monitor and analyze lubricants in standby generators and HVAC systems to prevent costly failures, reduce downtime, and enhance safety.

Our diagnostic engineers use advanced techniques to detect wear, contamination, and chemical changes in chiller, compressor, and refrigerant fluids—alerting you immediately to urgent issues. We can also provide staff training on managing an Oil Condition Monitoring program.

Fluid Analysis for Critical Building Systems

Ensure optimal temperatures in healthcare, pharmaceutical, and critical facilities with expert fluid testing from SGS. As compressors age, moisture and acids cause corrosion, overheating, and airflow blockages—leading to costly failures.

We test chiller, compressor and refrigerant fluids to detect contaminants, such as moisture and acids, that can corrode components and reduce equipment life. Our tests will also detect the early onset of abnormal wear so you can respond quickly to problems before they incur extensive downtime and high costs.

Refrigerant analysis according to ARI-700 specifications:

Acidity in refrigerants
Water in refrigerants
High boiling residue
Chloride in refrigerants
Purity of refrigerants
FTIR

Testing for chillers and compressors:

Metals by ICP
Water by Karl Fischer
Viscosity
Acid number
Extraction of refrigerant
