INDUSTRIAL LUBRICATION

ANALYSIS OF LUBRICANT OIL

Abstract

LUBRICATING OIL ANALYSIS APPLIED IN A MINING INDUSTRY IS PART OF THE MAINTENANCE PROCESS AND PLAYS A KEY ROLE. MUCH OF THE EQUIPMENT USED IN MINING NEEDS LUBRICATION TO PERFORM ITS FUNCTIONS. ALTHOUGH LUBRICATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE FULL OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT, MANY COMPANIES, DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE BENEFITS THAT CAN BE OBTAINED WHEN SEEKING THE REQUIREMENTS OF LUBRICANT MANAGEMENT, TEND TO NEGLECT THIS FORM OF MAINTENANCE. WORK PLAYS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ROLE WITHIN A MINING INDUSTRY, WHICH IS THE MANAGEMENT OF LUBRICATING OILS IN CERTAIN AREAS AND EQUIPMENT. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO PRESENT THE CONCEPT OF INDUSTRIAL LUBRICATION AND ITS MANAGEMENT, EXPOSING THE GUIDELINES AND BASIC PROCEDURES FOR CARRYING OUT THE ANALYSIS OF LUBRICATING OILS, DEVELOPING A CONCEPT ABOUT ITS EFFECTS ON PREVENTIVE AND PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE OF ASSETS. WE WILL APPROACH SOME ANALYSIS OF OIL AND ITS YIELDS USING DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT, EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY. THE ORGANIZATION CAN INCREASE PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE AND HELP REDUCE PRODUCT COSTS. FINALLY, THE IMPORTANCE OF OIL COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS PROCEDURES, WHICH ARE PART OF THE LIST OF PREVENTIVE AND PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE TOOLS, IS VERIFIED, AND, LIKE A BLOOD TEST, THE ANALYSIS OF LUBRICATING OIL TRANSMITS ESSENTIAL DATA ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE ACTIVE. WHENEVER A LUBRICANT IS EVALUATED, THE EQUIPMENT ATTACHED TO IT IS CONSEQUENTLY EVALUATED. THE MOTIVATION FOR CARRYING OUT THIS WORK IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE AUTHOR'S DAILY LIFE AS A PROFESSIONAL IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREA.
