Industrial Lubrication System Library
About this class
A four (4) lesson library. Learn the concept of lubrication and friction, and demonstrate the benefits of a proper lubrication program.
Prerequisites
This lesson is designed so that no prior knowledge is required. However, knowledge of applied mathematics is recommended.
Description
This library is designed f or training oilers, mechanics, and mill wrights as w ell as f or the multi-craft needs of process and manufacturing facilities. Participants are trained to recognize various types of lubrication systems and their maintenance requirements, including ring, bath, splash, constant level, and forced feed lubrication systems, as well as understand how they operate.
Objectives
learn the importance of following lubrication schedules, how to change common types of oil filters, and how to properly handle and store lubricants to prevent lubricant contamination.

Announcements
This is the first lesson in the iKNOW™ Industrial Lubrication Library.
This lesson explains the concept of lubrication and friction, and
demonstrates the benefits of a proper lubrication program.
-
Introduction to Industrial Lubrication
This is the second lesson in the iKNOW™ Industrial Lubrication Library.
This lesson explains viscosity as well as the properties of common
solid, semi-solid, and liquid lubricants are described as well as the
benefits associated with synthetic lubricants and the functions of
additives and inhibitors. Common types and causes of lubricant
contamination are described and proper methods of lubricant storage are
demonstrated.

Lubricants
This is the third lesson in the iKNOW™ Industrial Lubrication Library.
This lesson trains participants to recognize various types of
lubrication systems and their maintenance requirements, including ring,
bath, splash, constant level, and forced feed lubrication systems, as
well as understand how they operate.
-
Industrial Lubrication Systems
This is the final lesson in the iKNOW™ Industrial Lubrication Library.
Participants also learn the importance of following lubrication
schedules, how to change common types of oil filters. This lesson
explains the purpose of filters and the importance of filter maintenance
in lubrication systems. Additionally, the lesson indicates the benefits
of oil sampling and analysis and identifies several factors, which can
cause lubrication failure.
