The purpose for the Level I Machine Lubrication Technician
(MLT) certification is to verify that technicians practicing
in the field of machinery lubrication, as it is applied
to machinery condition monitoring and maintenance, are
qualified to perform the following tasks:
- Manage lubricant delivery, storage and dispensation.
- Manage
a route for machinery re-lubrication and/or inspection.
- Properly
change and/or top the oil in mechanical equipment
found in common industrial sites.
- Use simple techniques to
select lubricants with the proper base oil and
additive system for machinery
commonly found
in industrial settings.
- Use simple techniques to
select grease lubricants appropriate for machines
commonly found in industrial
settings.
- Use simple techniques to select grease
application methods (including automated delivery)
that are
least intrusive
and most effective for machines commonly
found in industrial settings.
- Use simple techniques
to estimate re-grease volume and interval for machines
commonly operated
in
industrial settings.
- Properly maintain automatic
lubrication systems (auto-grease, mist systems,
etc.).
- Employ
basic oil analysis techniques to identify and troubleshoot
abnormal lubricant degradation
conditions, and use simple techniques
to adjust the lubricant
specification
accordingly.
Common job titles for the individual
who would become Level I MLT certified include Lubrication
Technician, PM Technician, Millwright, Mechanic, etc.
Generally, this individual has regular contact with
the machine and has routine influence over the condition
of lubricants and hydraulic fluids in use. The individual
is likely to be directly involved in the machine lubrication
