Representative Oil Sampling 101: Ensuring Data Accuracy for Effective Lubrication Maintenance

How important is Lubrication Best Practice to your business?

Without proper education and training, maintenance efforts can be wasted in the wrong areas.

In particular, Oil Sampling 101.   (Dedicated Oil Sample Hardware, Representative Oil Sample Locations and Training).

Unless setting these foundational fundamentals are the beginning of your site journey to Lubrication Excellence, organisations best keep with time-based interval oil changes.

Without correct data from representative oil sampling locations and techniques, companies can be costing themselves.

A recent program at a client site saw a reduction in OUT-OF-SPEC. ISO ratings by 35%.  (This allowed the concentrated focus on Tier 1 critical assets).

By comparison, another example saw ISO Cleanliness data decrease from an average 6um and 14um count of 18/15 to 15/12.  A life extension of 50% (for gearboxes) and 70% (for rolling element bearings).

Australian companies are not realising the benefits that lubrication best practices can offer to equipment reliability, availability and cost reductions.
