This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Certified Machine Lubricant Analyst (MLA) Level-II. It covers the lubricant roles and functions including base oil, additive functions, synthetic lubricants and lubrication regimes; the oil analysis maintenance strategies and the fundamental aspects of reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) and condition-based maintenance (CBM); and the oil sampling and objectives for lube oil sampling, equipment specific sampling, sampling methods, managing interference and sampling process management.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the lubricant health monitoring, lubricant failure mechanisms, oxidative and thermal degradation; the additive depletion or degradation; testing for wrong or mixed lubricants; the fluid properties test methods and measurement units; the lubricant contamination measurement and control covering particle contamination, moisture contamination, glycol coolant contamination, soot contamination, fuel contamination and air contamination; and the wear debris monitoring and analysis comprising of common wear mechanisms, detecting abnormal wear and wear debris analysis.
