When it comes to critical rotating equipment, effective maintenance is essential. Many operators recognize that lubricant condition monitoring is a key part of their maintenance program but do not fully understand their oil analysis results. As a result, reports often leave end users with more questions than answers.
Many labs try to simplify interpretation by color-coding results to highlight potential issues. Unfortunately, when operators do not understand oil test fundamentals, this still leaves them with questions. What is the risk associated with an off-spec result? Is that result significant in their application? Most importantly: When a result is off-spec, what can be done to correct it?
