Justifying an Oil Analysis Program
J.M. Weiksner, Sr. P.E., WSRC
First I would provide a copy of the articles written by Drew
Troyer (March-April 2001 POA "Is
Onsite Oil Analysis Right for Your Organization?") and
J. Mike Weiksner (May-June 2001 POA "Applying
Onsite Oil Analysis at the Westinghouse Savannah River Company")
to read.
After the Mill Manager read these I would share many case histories
of experience with improvements through oil analysis. These case
histories would include examples of oil type consolidation, oil
life extension, machine PM extension, improvements in machinery
wear, improvements in component wear i.e. bearings, and how these
case histories evolved into other areas of maintenance i.e. journal
bearing maintenance, water lubricated bearings studies, and supplier
oil evaluations including effects of additives.
