Used Oil Montoring Essential Techniques
Course Description
This course provides engineers, analysts, technicians and mechanics with a concise overview of the essential information required to understand machinery lubrication, correctly perform oil sampling, understand analysis reports, and manage an oil analysis program. It focuses on the basic functions of a lubricant, how wear and contamination affect both machine reliability and oil quality, and how different oil types respond in similar applications. The essential properties of oils and greases are then reviewed, with a focus on understanding the parameters that most reflect changes in machine reliability.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
Training Objective

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • How to manage an oil analysis program
  • How to set program goals
  • Performing site assessments
  • Selecting sampling frequencies
  • Selecting oil test packages based on machine type and service criticality
  • How to establish oil analysis program metrics to establish machine-class specific parameters that can be used across a fleet to monitor overall program effectiveness, and how to document cost savings

Target Audience

Laboratory Managers, Analytical Chemists, Medical Scientists, Lab Technicians, Chemical Engineers, Laboratory Supervisors, Research and Development Scientists, Microbiologists, Laboratory Analysts, Food Technologists, Quality Assurance/Control Managers/Auditors, Instrumentation

Engineers, Chemical Engineers & Industry Personnel, chemists, and technicians working in methods development, R&D, manufacturing/process testing

It, also, covers how oil samples should be taken from machinery to obtain representative samples of the fluid system. The oil analysis tests performed on oils, hydraulic fluids, and greases are then reviewed, with an emphasis on understanding the implications of changes in the oil properties relative to machinery wear and reliability. Then it is integrated this with examples of oil analysis reports from various laboratories to show how to best interpret the report data, and how to assess oil degradation, additive depletion, and how to set and manage alarm limits. The effects of contamination, how to prevent it, and the use of filtration are then reviewed to ensure attendees understand the impact of particulate contamination on machine reliability, and how to deal with it at their plants.
