Introduction

The proper selection and use of lubricants, as well as the care and operation of lubricating systems, is an essential part of any power plant maintenance program. Any piece of equipment with moving parts depends on some type of lubricant to reduce friction and wear and to extend its life. To choose an appropriate lubricant for a particular application and to maintain the lubricant’s effectiveness, a basic understanding of lubrication theory and the characteristics of lubricants can be very beneficial.

 

This course will discuss lubrication fundamentals, lubricant characteristics, additives, maintenance of lubrication systems, and the selection of lubricants for common power plant equipment

 

Lube oil analysis provides the foundational skillset for applying best lubrication practices and product knowledge. Through Lube oil analysis, students can move away from the “old school” methods of vague, non-specific lubrication procedures and implement an excellent lubrication program in any industrial workplace.

Lube oil analysis students gain much more than pointers on lubricating a machine – they learn proven industry methods for selecting, storing, filtering and testing lubricants to boost reliability and generate lasting results in machine efficiency/maintenance. They also gain better understanding of oil analysis, so they can align their efforts with those of maintenance professionals or oil analysis experts.

Objective

The participant will learn how to do the following :

  • Oil Analysis Fundamentals
  • Oil Sampling – Best Practices
  • Factors which contribute to lubricant failure / contamination
  • Understanding of oil analysis results

The course include the following

  1. Fundamentals of lubrication
  2. Overview of oil lubrication methods and devices for Gas Turbines, Compressors & Pumps
  3. Oil Analysis Fundamentals
  4. Oil Sampling – Best Practices
  5. Know the factors which contribute to lubricant failure / contamination
  6. Poor Lubrication related Equipment Reliability issues.
  7. Understanding additives, base oils and grease Thickeners
  8. Understanding of oil analysis results
  9. Proactive & Preventive measures to avoid oil contamination
