Oil analysis cost‐effective machine condition monitoring technique

Abstract

This paper describes the development of the use of lubricant analytical programmes and trend analysis to optimise oil change intervals and to predict equipment failure. The various analytical methods are covered, as are the most frequently occurring lubricant applications where such condition monitoring programmes are most appropriate.
