Oil Analysis Report Interpretation

Turn oil analysis data into decisions

Learn a systematic approach to translating oil analysis reports into actionable maintenance decisions. You will learn how to select the right tests for measuring the right data points for specific processes, environments and machine conditions. The course also touches on achieving accurate and consistent data collection, removing data noise to accurately identify false results, elemental analysis interpretation, interpreting metallurgical composition combinations to identify wear modes, setting key performance indicators (KPIs) and alarm limits.

Learn from expert instructors

Gain valuable knowledge from these industry experts

Every year, industrial plants pay millions of dollars for commercial laboratories to perform analysis on used and new oil samples. Unfortunately, most of the plant personnel who receive these lab reports do not have the knowledge to get the full value of these reports. Anyone who wants to mine oil analysis data to make better maintenance, reliability, or engineering decisions can benefit from this course.
