The Lubrication Field Test
and Inspection Guide

Includes lots of photos and comparitors for quick reference

Analyze Your Oil Without Expensive Instruments!

Most people associate oil analysis with scientific laboratories and exotic analytical instruments.

Indeed, oil analysis is usually done this way and it generates considerable value and benefit. However, there is a growing trend among practitioners to enhance the value of oil analysis further by frequently applying simple onsite methods.

These field and plant-level techniques don’t require university training or cutting-edge technologies, but rather the use of inexpensive devices and inspection methods, especially sight, sound, smell, and touch.

Another important advantage of using simple on-site oil analysis tests is the positive impact it has on the organization. When an organization employs on-site methods for analyzing its oil, they have ownership in the process. It is their data and it is their program.

Suddenly, the information is affecting decisions about managing lubrication and equipment maintenance. Interest in effectively managing lubrication increases as technicians and crafts people talk informally amongst themselves. Slowly, you see the entire organization begin to take pride in assuring lubrication excellence.

The pride gives way to passion and all of the sudden you see the right oil going into the right machine; filters that are malfunctioning are replaced; reservoir caps get properly replaced after a top-off, etc. The sophisticated analysis information produced by your outside lab takes on a new meaning and is seen in a new light.

Likewise, management begins to depend on oil analysis to the point that important maintenance decisions aren’t made without it. The path to lubrication excellence is lined with people. Get the people issues right and the technical issues will resolve themselves.

Simple on-site oil analysis produces ownership, pride and passion, and gets the people issues right. This book explains the use and application of several such methods that can be easily applied during common walk-around inspections, maintenance, and oil sampling.

This practical handbook of onsite tests lets you:

  • Catch failures before they happen

  • Make routine inspections more effective

  • Get instant machine health information

  • Troubleshoot problems quickly

The Lubrication Field Test and Inspection Guide includes dozens of methods that you can easily conduct during common walk-around inspections, maintenance, and oil sampling.

Highly illustrated, this book includes lots of photos and comparitors for quick reference.
