Contamination Control

A 60 minute On Demand Webinar Workshop by Kristopher B. Sonne, CLS, Senior Reliability Technician, Trico Corp

In order to keep our machines running reliably, sound lubrication and contamination control techniques are required. This presentation will introduce the listener to the basics of contamination control in both new and in-service lubricants.


Participate to learn:

1) The proper storage and handling of lubricating oils

2) How to effectively close off pumps and other sumps from outside contaminants

3) The importance of filtering both new and in-use hydraulic and lubricating fluids

World Class Lubricant Storage and Handling

World Class Lubricant Storage and Handling

An hour long workshop by Jarrod Potteiger, Product & Educational Services Mgr., Des-Case Corporation

The methods by which lubricants are stored transferred and applied to machines play a large role in the success of a contamination control program. After all, if you start out with contaminated oil, you will not likely achieve cleanliness targets for machinery. Developing and implementing a world-class contamination control program is a sizable undertaking, and it usually requires significant modifications to machinery as well as changes in procedures and methodologies which can take years. However, there is one component of contamination control where you can affect the entire plant, and that component is the storage, handling and application of new lubricants. Because storage and handling affects the cleanliness of all lubricated machinery , it is usually a good place to start improving your program.

Attend this web workshop to learn:

1) New oil is not clean. It must be filtered before use.

2) World class storage and handling methods are not necessarily expensive.

3) Good contamination control practices require good storage and handling.

Fundamental Vibration Analysis

A 60-minute web workshop presented by Christopher R. Keniston, Customer Success Engineer Inc, Commtest

Implementing a Vibration Analysis program can be a considerable investment of time and resources. Realizing a significant Return-on-Investment requires the ability to capture and interpret relevant data, then take appropriate maintenance actions. Therein lies the primary obstacle to success. Regardless of whose products are used, you must understand what the technology is showing you. Our intent is to demonstrate that a fundamental understanding of this technology does not require highly-specialized training or an advanced degree. All one really needs is familiarity with the machine being monitored.

Watch this webinar to learn:

1) Understand fundamental sources of machine vibration.

2) Understand basic terms associated with Vibration Analysis.

3) Recognize several common FFT spectrum vibration signatures.

Infrared Safari:  A Photo Essay on the Hunt for Reliability Problems with Thermography

By Michael Stuart

In the animal world, there is a natural law that is seen day in and day out all around the planet Earth. The strong survive the elements and endure hardships and move on to live another day and often prosper. The weak and the sick, however, succumb to the will of the environment or to those who are stronger, faster, or smarter. Such is the way that it has always been... and such is probably the way that it will always be!

Believe it or not, reliability maintenance can be the same way in many respects. We run into the "big elephants" that either stand in the way of progress or threaten to take down the operation in a wild and dramatic rampage. We also find ourselves battling the smaller, yet equally damaging issues ("hyenas") that creep up quietly and quickly and pick off the smaller things for which we have responsibility. Either way, if we do not have the proper tools to deal with these threats, we must live in continuing fear of potential loss... financial, time, productivity, energy, and sometimes even personnel.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an "infrared picture" should surely be worth ten thousand! The images and captions that follow represent an "infrared photo safari" of our world and the beasts that we see every day.
