The samples are pulled from the transformer, and a week or so later, a report comes back. But what actually happens in between? In this episode of Transformer Truths, host Ryan Tate goes behind the lab door with Rachel Nypaver, Lab Supervisor at SDMyers, for a look at what really happens to your oil sample. It turns out there’s no single test that tells you everything—there’s a whole battery of them, and each one sees something the others don’t. Rachel walks through a day in the life of the lab and explains a few of the key tests in plain terms. Along the way, she reveals something most people never think about: the quality of the sample itself shapes everything the lab can tell you. A rare, human look inside the work behind every oil test report. 

Enjoy the episode!
