If you re like many users, you may already be winging your way around oil analysis. You may be using it exclusively to predict catastrophic failures. Or, you may be basing your oil drains on the recommendations of your oil analysis lab. Either way, you probably know there s a lot about oil analysis you haven t mastered... and you might be wondering what you are missing. Wouldn t you like to know ALL about what oil analysis can do for you? Now you can! You ll Learn More Than Just Oil Analysis Extending oil and machine life are two of the primary goals of oil analysis, but analyzing the oil won t make the oil or machine last any longer. That s why Jim Fitch s proven strategy for extending machine and lubricant life by up to 10X is the cornerstone of this presentation. You will learn how to select the right lubricants and filters and how small adjustments to your lubricant properties can result in huge savings. Vibration and Oil Analysis - Learn the strategies of leading maintenance organizations for integrating vibration, reliability-centered maintenance and oil analysis. Oil Analysis Blunders - Don t Let These Happen To You... A large steel mill wanted to get every machine ready for easy oil sampling. After installing more than 1,200 oil sampling ports, it started getting strange data on its oil analysis reports. After investigation, it was found that each of the new sample ports was installed in the wrong location. A lubrication technician was in charge of changing filters on several large hydraulic systems. He changed filters only when the differential pressure gauge indicated it was time. He noticed that one of the filters never seemed to need changing because the gauge never moved. After losing a couple of pumps, it was discovered that there was a large hole in the filter, which did not allow the pressure to rise. A company performing oil analysis for several years wondered why it was never able to detect bearing faults. After its program was audited, it was discovered that the tests being conducted were not capable of detecting impending failure. Instead, these tests were designed to identify wrong or degraded lubricants only.
