While most maintenance professionals understand oil analysis fundamentals, few harness its full potential to prevent costly equipment shutdowns and maximise operational value. This session takes you beyond basics to master the science of lubricant degradation mechanisms and their early detection.

You'll discover how to interpret specialised test results that reveal warning signs before catastrophic failure occurs. Through practical examples, I'll demonstrate proven techniques for identifying real root causes of lubricant breakdown and how to use historical failure data to predict and prevent future issues—transforming your approach to equipment reliability.

• Comprehensive overview of diverse lubricant degradation mechanisms
• Laboratory testing methods that pinpoint specificd eterioration patterns
• Practical prevention strategies to eliminate root causes before they impact equipment
• Logic tree methodology for systematic degradation analysis and troubleshooting

Critical Takeaways:

1. Master the full spectrum of lubricant degradation mechanisms affecting industrial equipment.
2. Apply systematic root cause analysis techniques specifically tailored for lubrication failures.
3. Implement targeted solutions to prevent recurrence of common degradation mechanisms.
