Novel Varnishing Potential Analysis Developed for Gas Turbine and Hydraulic Systems

The lubricating oil in gas turbines and hydraulic systems is increasingly subject to the ravages of varnish. The debilitating effects of varnish are well documented. The complexities associated with detecting varnish potential render routine oil analysis ineffective in reporting varnish. However, there are a number of technologies, although seldom used, which have been successful in reporting incipient varnish potential. Insight Services has developed a Varnishing Potential Analysis that incorporates these technologies into one simple report to offer an integrated varnish potential solution.

LubricationWorld Conference in Chattanooga Delivers Machinery Lubrication Best Practices

More than 600 maintenance and reliability professionals from around the world participated in the “sold out” 2nd Annual LubricationWorld Conference on reliability based industrial machinery lubrication.

Chattanooga TN (PRWEB) September 15, 2006 -– More than 600 maintenance and reliability professionals from around the world participated in the “sold out” 2nd Annual LubricationWorld Conference on reliability based industrial machinery lubrication.

“This is largest event of its type,” explained conference producer Terrence O’Hanlon, CMRP. “All of the lubrication events we have seen are produced by people who sell lubrication training, lubrication services or the lubricants themselves. I think our audience appreciates the independent position of LubricationWorld. Lubrication is one of the most important elements of a plant machinery reliability program and leading companies and making significant investment into upgrading lubrication practices and skills on the plant floor.”
