Over 40% of engine failure is due to a problem in the cooling system. Routine coolant analysis and maintenance can achieve maximum system efficiency and identify potential problems before they become catastrophic failures. Trico coolant analysis will alert you to coolant breakdowns, which can contribute to failures. Our coolant analysis can detect:
Trico’s Laboratory Offers a Full Suite of Coolant Tests
Corrosion Levels
Corrosion is monitored in the cooling system
Percent Glycol
Glycol is the main ingredient of most coolants, too much or too little will reduce the protection of the cooling system
Freeze Point
The temperature at which crystallization begins
pH
The measure of the hydrogen ion concentration which indicates whether the coolant is acidic, alkaline or neutral
Physical Properties
Inspection of the coolant in regards to odor, foam, precipitate, and oil and fuel presence
Boiling Point
Monitor the boiling point of a coolant, ensuring the liquid state is maintained for consistent cooling
Total Dissolved Solids
Measurement of dissolved solids within the coolant to interpret conductance
Supplemental Coolant Analysis
Evaluate and maintain the necessary additives for corrosion protection
