Oil Analysis 101.
How is important is Lubrication Best Practice to your business?
Companies are not realising the benefits that lubrication best practices can offer to equipment reliability, availability and cost reductions.
Oil Analysis is integral to equipment reliability. Asset integrity is severely compromised through contamination ingress, lubricant breakdown or operation out of specification or design parameters.
Understanding your oil analysis reports and making educated and informed actionable maintenance recommendations comes from education, experience, data metrics and component composition.
Drilling down on how contaminants, operating and environmental influences impact lubricant health forms the basis of correct interpretation of oil analysis.
How many of you understand additive health and degradation, what causes additive depletion or the onset of oxidation?
Without proper education and training, efforts can be wasted in the wrong areas.

When undertaking your journey into oil analysis, it is vital to benchmark your site lubricant baselines.
TIP No. 2.
When undertaking an oil analysis program, it is equally vital to understand your criticality ranking for Tier 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 assets.
Failure mode and oil analysis history form vital data sets to generate limits either through statistical analysis, standard deviation or Pf Failure Mode analysis.
Having robust alarm limits applicable to your operation and environment form the basis of these metrics.
Our Oil Analysis certification training programs provide valuable education and learning tools to assist on your journey.
