How to Effectively use Oil Analysis Data

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

Used oil analysis is one of the most effective, yet under-utilized condition monitoring tools available to maintenance and reliability professionals. The primary reasons for this are a lack of knowledge and an over-dependence on third party data analysis. In this session, you will learn what the data actually means and what it can tell us about a machine's condition. Once you learn how to interpret and manage oil analysis data effectively you will begin to easily identify lubrication problems and the likely solutions.

View this tutorial to learn:

1) How to determine if the right oil is in a machine

2) How to identify abnormal contamination

3) How to assess the condition of a lubricant
