Chemical Testing Laboratory

Abu Adel Manufacturing – Chemical  Testing Laboratory provides advanced diagnostic and analytical services essential for maintaining the reliability, safety, and long-term performance of power transformers. Transformer insulating oil plays a critical role in cooling and electrical insulation, and its condition directly reflects the health of the transformer. Through precise testing, we help identify early signs of degradation, contamination, and internal faults that could lead to costly failures if not addressed in time.

Equipped with modern instruments and operated by skilled specialists, our laboratory conducts a comprehensive range of tests that comply with international standards such as IEC and ASTM.

Our services include:

• Color – Determines the condition and aging stage of insulating oil.
• Kinematic Viscosity – Measures the flow characteristics of insulating oil.
• Density – Determines the density of insulating oil.
• Oxidation Stability – Evaluates oil stability and the presence of oxidation by-products.
• Breakdown Voltage (BDV) Test – Assesses the dielectric strength of the insulating oil.
• Moisture Content Measurement – Identifies water contamination levels.
• Acidity & TAN (Total Acid Number) – Indicates oil aging and oxidation levels.
• Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) – Detects internal faults, overheating, and arcing conditions based on gas composition.
• Furan Analysis – Assesses the condition of cellulose/solid insulation.
• Power Factor / Dielectric Dissipation Factor – Measures insulation quality and dielectric losses.
• Interfacial Tension (IFT) – Evaluates contamination and degradation in insulating oil.
• Metal Passivator Test – Identifies passivator additives in insulating oil.
• Corrosive Sulphur Test – Detects the presence of reactive sulphur compounds.
• DBPC/BHT Analysis – Identifies antioxidants and stabilizing additives in insulating oil.

Our testing approach supports utilities, industries, and service providers in making informed maintenance decisions, optimizing asset lifecycle, reducing operational risks, and enhancing overall system reliability. With quick turnaround times, accurate reporting, and expert interpretation, our laboratory forms a crucial component of condition monitoring and preventive maintenance programs.
