Об этой программе
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.
Чему вы научитесь
- 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
