Anyone know what would cause chromium, tin, and zinc to go high in a hydraulic system. All other metals are nominal.

Chromium could be from hydraulic cylinder rods, check for damaged or bent rods.
Zinc, are there any galvanised iron fittings on the system? |

As said before chrome is from cylinders or ram usually. Unusual to get tin in hydraulics but a possible source may be from bearings in the pump although another metal ie lead would be expected. Please post if you do find a positive source in the unit in question.

Since both your chromium and tin levels have gone high, I would suspect a bearing problem somewhere in your system, possibly in your pump. Zinc is normally an anti wear additive. could it be possible that someone topped off your tank with new fluid?
