Über dieses Programm
Used oil carries a record of what is happening inside the machine. This programme covers sampling, the standard tests, and how to interpret trends in wear metals, contamination and oil condition.
Was Sie danach können
- Take a sample that represents the oil in service
- Explain what viscosity, TBN, TAN and elemental analysis show
- Tell wear metals, contaminants and additive elements apart
- Decide when to change the oil, investigate or act
