Course Overview
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 relubrication 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 regrease 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.

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.
