Road Map to Better Oil Sampling
A world-class oil analysis program starts with good practices and procedures to extract the most representative oil sample. The resulting data from a representative oil sample will hold useful information on the health of the equipment. That information will give teams the information needed to maximize reliability, reduce unplanned downtime and eliminate catastrophic failures.

Understanding Lubrication Failures and Failure Mechanisms
Lubrication is vital to maintenance and reliability. Lubrication done right can alter the path of how asset reliability is managed. Understanding lubrication maintenance strategies and lubrication failure modes will allow key personnel to eliminate root causes to achieve operational KPI’s.

Efficient Vibration Data Collection For Condition Based Maintenance Programs
Condition-based maintenance is an important strategy used to achieve the quality and capacity that is required in manufacturing today. To achieve these goals, vibration analysis is helpful for determining rotating equipment condition and performance. Collecting correct and usable vibration data is critical to the success of any vibration analysis program. Unfortunately, there are challenges that must be overcome in order to provide this data that were not necessarily issues in the past.

Reducing Contamination Wins in the End
This presentation will address today’s global economic climate that creates tremendous pressure for facility owners and managers to decrease operating costs and increase company profits while remaining competitive. Added to the challenge is the struggle to achieve this goal without significant capital investment.

Condition-based Monitoring Development Platform, Extends Equipment Lifetime through Advanced Vibration Sensing
Piezo accelerometers have been the gold standard vibration sensor used for decades on the most critical assets. In some cases the cost of piezo sensors and accompanying hardware prohibited them from being installed on lower criticality assets. Over the last few years MEMS accelerometers have made huge leaps forward in noise and bandwidth performance, bringing them in line with piezo accelerometers.

What You Didn’t Know About Surge Testing
Preventing unscheduled downtime and expensive repairs should be the primary goal of every predictive maintenance program. Approximately 80% of electrical failures begin in the motor winding insulation, not the groundwall insulation. Unless a surge test is implemented, this critical winding insulation problem can’t be detected until it reaches the groundwall insulation due to extreme heat advanced by shorted turns: too late! Find out how the surge test works, why megohm or hipot testing will not detect winding insulation problems, and why this fantastic nondestructive test has
