Why You Should Use a Filter Cart

Gear oil viscosity typically trends downward as the oil ages. However, every so often a slight spike in viscosity may be seen in your oil analysis reports. A difference of a few centistokes could be due to inconsistencies in the lab or personnel running the sample.

The Impact of Unreliable Equipment
|
|
|
From "Integrated Reliability: Condition Monitoring and Maintenance of Equipment":
The standard definition of reliability does not say much about the effects of equipment failure on businesses and people.

In companies with equipment reliability problems, people are busy repairing failures over and over again. This practice never ends, and you go home each day knowing there will be more trouble the next day.
