How Additives Improve Oil Quality
|
|
|
|
Oil quality is established by the refining processes, and additives are most effective if the oil is well-refined. Although the overall performance of an oil can be improved by introducing additives, a poor-quality oil cannot be converted into a premium quality oil by introducing additives.

Varnish can be devastating to machines that are prone to its formation. Varnish has too often been the cause of costly downtime and unplanned outages. Testing for varnish potential in a lubricating oil allows you to keep track of the stages of varnish formation so it can be mitigated early.

There's a reason your oil container has an expiration date. Particles and dirt compromise an oil's benefits, but so does age. Additives separate within oil, viscosity changes, etc. Learn the facts in Oil Analysis II.

Goals for Maintenance Management
|
|
|
From "Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability: Theory and Applications, Second Edition":
One of the first steps in the use of quantitative techniques in maintenance is to determine the objective of the study. Once the objective is determined, whether to maximize profit/unit time, minimize downtime/unit time, maximize the availability of protective devices subject to budgetary constraints, and so on, an evaluative mathematical model can be constructed that enables management to determine the best way to operate the system to achieve the required objective.
