Hydraulic and Lubrication Filtration and Contamination Control
Hit your target fluid cleanliness level!
• Description
Contamination in hydraulic system fluids is recognized as the single most important factor in reducing the reliability and longevity of industrial equipment. Numerous studies conducted over the years have shown that as much as 70%-80% of failures and wear problems in lubricated machines are caused by particulate and water contamination.
The sensitivity of a component to particulate contamination is dependent on the lubricant film thickness and the size and quantity of contaminants in the fluid. In order to maximize component life and system reliability, it is important to determine and set required cleanliness levels at critical particle sizes, implement proper filtration to maintain fluid cleanliness, and establish a monitoring program to ensure that the targets are being maintained.
This webinar will discuss contamination sources and effects, how to establish fluid cleanliness levels, and determine the proper filtration and contamination control techniques that will achieve optimal fluid cleanliness levels.
