| Justification for Fixing Leaks |
|
| Did you know that an oil leak of one drop per second amounts to approximately $1,000 of oil per year that must be replaced? If you estimate the cost of replacement, including purchasing, handling, application, waste cleanup and disposal at three times the cost of the initial purchase, then each one-drop-per-second leak costs your company $2,956 (based on 14,000 drops per pint and $3.50 per gallon for oil).

| Hydraulic systems undergo several pressures. Where the strainer is placed within the system will decide the pressure it will experience. Regardless of the placement of the strainer, one possible cause of failure is contamination. A root-cause analysis should be performed to determine the reason for a failure. Finding the root cause will help prevent any future problems related to a particular incident. |

| Determining when to flush a turbine lube oil system can be challenging. If no problems have been encountered, there may be a tendency to postpone the flush as long as possible. However, if a known problem exists, it should be addressed at the earliest opportunity. Remember, early identification of potential problems is one of the tools that can be used to forecast and ward off catastrophic failures. |
