Machine Lubrication Technician/Machine Lubricant Analysts — Level 1
WI241
This 4-day course introduces the role of precision lubrication for improving machine reliability. Each day includes vocabulary lists for new concepts and open-ended questions. Time is provided in class to complete about half of the questions. The remainder are to be completed during private study time after class. A post-course practice exam is provided at the end of day 4 to help gauge level of preparation for the certification.Course objectives
This course covers the following:
- Role of lubrication for improving machine reliability
- Overview of lubricant construction and the general principles involved in lubricant selection for common plant machinery
- Handling and application practices for both oils and greases
- Contamination control as a way to improve machine performance
- Appropriate methods to collect samples as the first step in lubricant based machine condition assessment
Recommended for
Plant personnel involved in machine lubrication, including maintenance supervisors and coordinators, reliability and rotating machinery engineers, predictive maintenance technicians and skilled mechanics.Prerequisites
