Webinar Description
This five-part standardized approach can improve oil analysis alarm limits for detecting and managing abnormal lubrication events:
A lubrication technician is responsible for setting and maintaining the site’s oil analysis alarm limits.
An onsite oil analysis advantage compared with offsite laboratory analysis involves availability of predictive maintenance knowledge and experience with operating equipment.
Consistent, repeatable measurement values are produced by well-trained operators running tests properly using calibrated instruments.
Technician recommendations consider oil analysis findings, component maintenance history, visual observations, and information from other sources.
Equipment profile grouping with similar equipment operating under similar conditions is necessary for meaningful alarm limits.

Learning Takeaways
1. Investment in on-site oil analysis tools has proven ROI across several diverse industries, integrating reliability practices into everyday        asset and maintenance
management processes.
2. Immediate oil analysis diagnostics and recommendations provide timely data to direct lubrication-based reliability tasks, increasing both cost savings and team
productivity.
3. On-site software solutions enable capture of equipment data, leading to high value diagnostics and prognostics.
