Monitoring Physical and Chemical Characteristics Oil for Lubrication
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2009, Vol 31, Issue 3
Abstract
Different technical systems require for the appropriate lubricant to be used at the appropriate place, at the appropriate time and in an appropriate quantity. Determination of technical systems condition has very important role in development of friction theory and practice, wear and lubrication. Lubricant is, as the contact element of the tribomechanical system, carrier of information about the state of the whole system, from the aspect of tribological and other ageing processes. Due to that, analysis of oils, based on properly defined program, represents a very effective method for monitoring the state of technical systems, which ensures early warning signals of potential problems that could lead to failure and break down of the technical systems.Using Oil Analysis programs for engine oils has several benefits: reduction of unscheduled vehicle downtime, improvement of vehicle reliability, help in organizing effectiveness of maintenance schedules, extension of engine life, optimization of oil change intervals and reduction of cost of vehicle maintenance.

Wear and Friction Behavior of Multi and Uniaxial Compressed AISI1010 Steel
Deformation processing is an important technique to produce improved and high strength steel products. Uniaxial compression (UAC) imparts high strength and hardness to processed material. On the other hand, multi axial c...
Numerical Analyses of the Non-Newtonian Flow Performance and Thermal Effect on a Bearing Coated with a High Tin Content
The hydrodynamic bearings are stressed by severe workings conditions, such as speed, load, and the oil will be increasingly solicit by pressure and shear. The Newtonian behavior is far from being awarded in this case, th...
