Desiccant Breathers: A Complete Guide
 
Desiccant Breathers: A Complete Guide
 
Before we can define a desiccant breather, we need to understand what a desiccant is. A desiccant is defined as a hygroscopic substance (material that attracts and holds water molecules) that induces or sustains a state of dryness in its vicinity. If you've ever opened a box of new shoes or a packet of beef jerky and seen those little packets labeled "do not eat," those contain silica gel, which is a desiccant.

Viscometers: A Practical Guide
 
Viscometers: A Practical Guide
 
A viscometer is an instrument used to measure fluid viscosity and the flow properties of liquids. Let's discuss the various styles of viscometers, their internal characteristics and factors that go into performing a precise and repeatable viscosity measurement. In tribology and the study of lubrication, viscosity has often been referred to as the most important characteristic of a base oil. Why is viscosity so important in the lubrication of a machine?

Four Lethal Diesel Engine Oil Contaminants
 
Four Lethal Diesel Engine Oil Contaminants
 
Some contaminants are important to monitor and analyze because they are root causes of premature oil degradation and engine failure. Other contaminants are symptomatic of an active failure condition that requires a response other than just an oil change.

Lube Tip
 
Washing down machinery with water often results in desiccant breathers becoming saturated with water. One solution we have is to put panty hose over the breather. Though it may look silly, it repels the water yet allows air to move through it and is easier than training personnel over time.
