Oil Analysis Without Particle Counting?
Dave Isenberg, Lubricator, Luke Mill
Lab Manager?, sounds more like an accountant who has never seen
the cost of equipment and downtime. Particle counting is as important,
if not more; as any other test to prevent failure of equipment.
Prevention cannot be over-emphasized. Prevention is much cheaper
than failure, even if it means replacement on a planned outage.
Particle count can predict failure or may advise oil change- out
or purification.
I would reconsider discontinuing or at least set-up particle
counting on a reduced schedule, never eliminate it. An ounce of
prevention is worth a ton of cursing, or should I say cure.
