So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

To Perform As Primary Component

By Daniel Y. Scurry


As a business owner you are conscious of the large amount of capital you have invested in your machinery and plant so you need to understand that oil analysis testing is the backbone of condition monitoring. You should be aware that condition monitoring is an essential part of proactive maintenance, which will help prevent damage to your equipment that can be costly as well as eliminating expensive down time that can create lost revenue. Condition monitoring involves more than hiring some maintenance staff to oversee your plant and equipment.

The possibility of equipment damage that can result in malfunction or failure can be avoided by the use of a very effective oil analysis testing that can detect early warning signs. Just like people receive blood tests to provide information about what is happening on the inside, the same theory applies to oil analysis testing for machines. When potential problems are discovered early, action can be taken more quickly to avoid serious damage that could happen without intervention or breakdowns that could be avoided with preventative maintenance.

Critical equipment that is costly can be monitored by oil analysis testing, which is performed by sensors that are parts of the condition monitoring program to provide early indication of possible disruptive and unpredictable failures. Monitoring with sensitive on-line sensors can provide oil condition, water and other fluid properties, and wear metal debris. This type of system can provide continual monitoring which can provide remote logging and also provide alarm functions that are specially programmed.

Oil analysis test kits are another system of oil analysis testing that can be used. This is a more economical way to accomplish in-service condition monitoring that can monitor a wide set of critical parameters at the location site. This is an excellent solution for remote locations or those that have reduced access to laboratories. Results that are produced on site and timely are one advantage of this type of testing.

The use of on-line sensors allows continuous monitoring that is the most effective to determine informed planned maintenance and have significantly reduced downtime. Gradual degradation can be trended by these sensors that monitor the oil condition and detect contamination such as free water, insoluble nitration, oxidation and glycol. Wear debris sensors are very sensitive instruments that can identify minute ferrous particles including their size and count. Debris particles that are ferrous and non-ferrous are generated from wear which gives you critical insight to the wear process in your machinery.
