Overview

This course provides foundational training in industrial lubricants, machinery lubrication and oil sampling. It is designed to help participants achieve greater equipment reliability in their plant.
If you aren’t using the correct lubricant at the right time in the right quantity and in the right place, you could be doing your equipment more harm than good. Modern lubrication programs have changed considerably from “old school” methods that have been passed down through generations.
This course contains a strategic collection of the very best practices for applying and managing lubrication that you can take home and begin using right away.



Course Objectives:
The objective of this course is to;
• Empower the participants with the knowledge to understand important lubricant properties and strategies to select the correct lubricant for each machine application.
• Set a good foundation of knowledge to make a measurable difference in your lubrication programs
