Rule of Thumb for Oil Filtration
|
|
|
|
As a general guideline when periodically decontaminating a lubricant or hydraulic oil sump, the maximum pump displacement should be only 10 percent of the total volume of oil to be filtered. A 10-gallon reservoir requires no more than 1 gallon per minute for decontamination. Too much may cause a temperature increase, possible foaming and lubricant starvation. Too little pump displacement will require excessive filtration time.

Simply obtaining a snapshot of data from an oil sample is essentially worthless without something to which to compare it. This is why trending data in oil analysis reports is so beneficial. It not only allows you to determine if the current oil properties are unfavorable but also if they will become unfavorable in the near future.

Single-point lubricators offer many benefits, such as enabling lubrication in remote or restricted access locations, decreasing labor costs associated with using grease guns, allowing continuous or periodic lube supply over several months, reducing grease consumption and increasing machine reliability.
