Turbine engine SOAP kits
Kits are engine-specific. A typical SOAP kit contains an oil sample bottle and a filter container, and for many engines a replacement filter and O-rings. Contents vary by engine, so MATS confirms them with the quote.
SOAP oil analysis kits.
Spectrometric oil analysis helps operators trend engine wear between inspections. Send MATS the engine model or the kit number, and the sourcing desk identifies the applicable sample kit and quotes it.

What oil analysis tells an operator.
A spectrometric oil analysis program (SOAP) measures wear metals and other elements in a small oil sample. Trended over time, changes can point to developing wear inside an engine before it becomes a costly failure. Sampling intervals and limits come from the engine manufacturer and your maintenance program.
MATS supplies the sample kits and handles the request. Laboratory testing, results, and their interpretation remain with the laboratory and your maintenance organization.
Request a kitAPU kits
Sample kits are also available for common auxiliary power units. Share the APU model and MATS confirms the applicable kit.
General oil, hydraulic, and fuel kits
Standard oil sample kits and hydraulic or fuel sample kits are available when an engine-specific kit is not required.
Engine families covered
Kits cover turbine engine families including the PW100 series used on ATR aircraft, PT6A, TFE731, TPE331, CF34, JT15D, PW300, PW500, HTF7000, and AE3007. Confirm the exact engine model when you request.
Analysis and results
Samples are analyzed by the laboratory, which issues the report. MATS confirms what each kit includes, including how analysis is handled, before you order.
Request checklist
Either detail identifies the kit.
Send the engine model or the kit number, not necessarily both. The rest helps MATS quote the right quantity and delivery.
- 01Engine or APU model
The exact designation, such as PW127M or TFE731-5. The dash number matters.
- 02Or the kit or part number
From your last kit or the laboratory's list. Either this or the model is enough to start.
- 03Number of kits
One kit is typically used per sample, so plan for your sampling interval.
- 04Aircraft or fleet, when helpful
Aircraft type or fleet size helps confirm the engine variant.
- 05Delivery location
Where the kits should ship.
- 06Required date
When the kits need to be on hand for the next sample.
