Course Description
In this interactive, personalized learning forum you will get firsthand experience reading and interpreting data, on real life samples. Each attendee is invited to bring historical trend data on their equipment for real life case study discussions. Attendees will run sample tests in our commercial laboratory on real world samples and collect the data onto our Passport software system.
After the sample testing is complete, attendees will analyze samples with a professional analyst and rate the lubricant and equipment condition based on the test data.
Lubricant Condition
Lubricant condition is a vital part of the health of your machine and insures in-service lubricants are in good working order. There are a variety of tests that can be performed to determine lubricant condition such as Viscosity, FT-IR, RDE (ICP) Spectroscopy, Crackle, etc. Because there are such a variety of lubricant condition tests, it can be difficult to understand what the tests mean in relation to the equipment and can create confusion when determining which tests to perform on your samples. This course will unravel lubricant analysis testing confusion.
Equipment Condition
A common misconception is that lubricant condition tests can measure an abnormal wear condition in a piece of equipment. This is rarely true. If you are looking for an abnormal wear condition, examine the wear particles that are generated because particle size, morphology and the concentration of particles are directly proportional to the health of the equipment. Information from Direct Reading Ferrography (DR) and the Ferrogram Maker (FM) are instrumental in detecting an abnormal wear condition in the machine.
