Course Overview
The course provides guidance and competency development to take the Machinery Lubrication Analyst – MLA ISO 18436-4 Exam offered through the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML). Preparation in the following areas: I. Maintenance Strategies II. Lubrication Theory/Fundamentals III. Lubricant Selection IV. Lubricant Application V. Lube Storage and Management VI. Lube Condition Control VII. Oil Sampling VIII. Lubricant Health Monitoring
Key Takeaways
1
The details of fluid analysis, the instruments and tests.
2
An in-depth examination of data interpretation.
3
Operate with improved technical skills for lubrication tasks and basic lubricant analysis for machine condition monitoring.
4
How to utilize oil analysis by understanding process stress, contamination, and wear debris that could harm systems.
5
Clear and defined tasks associated with oil changes, top-ups, greasing bearings, lubricant receiving and proper storage and care of lubricants.
ICML
Lubrication and Oil Analysis Standards Development Support. Activities are under way at ISO and ASTM to develop used oil analysis standards. There is a clear need for additional standards in the areas of lubricant selection and application, contamination control, etc. ICML will serve as a rallying point for machinery lubrication practitioners to speak with a common voice by supporting the development of lubrication-related standards and guides, including the support of efforts at ASTM, ISO and other organizations. With ISOs expected adoption of QS 9000 in place of the existing ISO 9000 standard, more rigor will be demanded to assure quality control over every aspect of running a plant, mine, mill or construction site, including lubrication functions. ICML plays an important role in supporting these activities.
