Advice for Improving Oil Sampling
|
|
|
|
An effective flushing procedure is critical to generating a sample that is representative of the oil in your system. Statistical analyses show that flushing five to seven times the total volume of the sample port line, valves, etc. is necessary to collect a good representative sample of the total oil volume and not just the stagnant oil pooled in the dead leg created by the sampling port. Consider flushing 10 times the total volume to help ensure a good sample.

Minimizing Equipment Replacement Costs
|
|
|
From "Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability: Theory and Applications, Second Edition":
Through use, equipment deteriorates, and this deterioration may be measured by an increase in the O&M (operations and maintenance) costs. Eventually, the O&M costs will reach a stage in which it becomes economically justifiable to replace the equipment. What we wish to determine is an optimal replacement policy that minimizes the total discounted costs derived from operating, maintaining and disposing of the equipment over a long period.
