Understanding Oil Analysis with David Pedden
Oil analysis is a very important part of any lubrication program. Oil is an essential ingredient for your equipment and provides a strong bottom line. When there are contaminants in your oil, your equipment fails more often than it is supposed to. That means you have to get more spare parts, buy more lubricants and deal with increased downtime. When the condition of your oil is good—that is where the oil analysis comes in for making sure it is—your machines work properly. In a result, you save a lot of money by purchasing the right amount of oil.
