Oil Analysis Without Particle Counting?
John Shubert, Caterpillar, Inc.
As a plant equipment manager if the manager of the oil lab I
was using "recommended that the particle counting activity be
discontinued" on critical compressors, hydraulics and turbine
systems I'd be looking for a new oil analysis supplier. I can
not believe this would ever happen. This manager obviously doesn't
get it where oil analysis in concerned.
A top shelf manager would certainly work with me to establish
the most economical sampling interval for the various systems
in my plant but nobody I'd respect as a business partner would
suggest quitting particle count cold turkey.
