| Picture-Perfect Oil Samples |
|
| With the proliferation of digital cameras, why not take a photograph of the oil sample (requires the use of a transparent sample bottle) and store the image in a trending software for comparative purpose. Record a new oil sample and use this as a baseline. Set the bottle against a white background such as a sheet of paper to maintain a consistent color comparison. You can also use the camera in other ways such as to record images of the machine and sampling point as a means of identifying it in the software or to record abnormalities such as excessive leakages for easy location by mechanics. Pictures are immediate and speak volumes, so use them to good effect in reports and trending software.

From the book "Practical Lubrication for Industrial Facilities":
There are different degrees of severity under which boundary lubrication conditions prevail. Some are only moderate, while others are extreme. Boundary conditions are met by a variety of special lubricants with properties corresponding to the severity of the particular application. These properties are derived from various additives contained in the oil — some singly and some in combination with other additives. Their effect is to increase the load-carrying ability of the oil. Where loads are only mildly severe, an additive of the class known as oiliness agents or film-strength additives is applicable. Worm-gear and pneumatic-tool lubricants are often fortified with these types of agents. Where loads are moderately severe, anti-wear agents or mild EP additives are used. These additives are particularly desirable in hydraulic oils and engine oils. For more heavily loaded parts, a more potent class of additives is required. These are called extreme pressure (EP) agents.
