Abstract
Monitoring the performance of lubricants in practical application has multiple significance for both the consumer and the lubricant manufacturer. The primary significance for the consumer is extended life and timely change of lubricants, which keeps the costs of maintenance down. The lubricant manufacturer gains by creating a partner relationship with the consumer, as well as creating the possibility of gathering information about the performance of his product which will serve as the foundation for its further improvement and development. If we wish to maintain technical systems so that they have minimum halts and costs caused by halt removal or system failures, we must monitor data indicating equipment condition throughout the system operation. It is especially difficult to obtain data on equipment condition for parts which cannot be observed due to their position. In such cases, the oil analysis enables a continuous equipment condition monitoring and timely response in order to prevent undesirable prolonged halts.
