Oil Analysis and Tribology
About The Course
Machinery is assembled from many parts which some of them have relative motion, or friction, among each other. This will need oil for lubrication, cooler and cleaner. In order to maintain good machinery operations, one needs to understand tribology (knowledge about friction and lubrication) and oil analysis.
Design for
All Maintenance Professionals, Reliability Engineers, Lubrication Engineers, Craftsmen and Millwrights, Equipment Operators, Operations & Maintenance Managers, Lubrication Technicians, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineers, Maintenance Supervisors, Vibration Instrument Specialists, Predictive Maintenance Technicians, Laboratory Analysts.
