These are the best laboratories to send your oil samples to…
Finding a reputable company to send an oil sample to is a matter of locating your favorite search engine, and typing “Electrical oil testing laboratory” or something of that nature in the search bar. You will get the promoted vendors that appear on the top of the page, and slowly work through websites. The entire 1st page is filled with companies.
I surveyed my Facebook and Instagram audience to see who they use to test their oil samples. I wanted to share in a single location, the companies that are being used by the followers of ETT. If you would like to add a company to this list, e-mail Support@ElectricalTestTech.com
