Petrolube dispatches control of lubricant contamination
2014/8/14
Lubrication accidents are mainly caused by pollution, except for the selection or improper use of Petrolube's lubricants. 1. Contaminant Petrolube distributes lubricants with dust, impurities, and moisture. 2. The control of pollution degree is very important for the wear resistance of hydraulic oil, turbine oil, hydrostatic oil film bearing oil and high speed bearing oil. 3. Measures to control pollution: 1) The container for storing and transporting Petrolube lubricants must be clean, sealed, and not in contact with metals such as copper and tin that tend to promote the oxidative deterioration of Petrolube lubricants. 2) Before the oil is added to the equipment, it should be settled and filtered to ensure the quietness reaches 5 or above. 3) The refueling container should not be exposed to the atmosphere, especially the oil container must not be covered. 4) Tanks storing Petrolube's lubricants should be cleaned regularly and drained in time. 5) Air filter respirator is installed on the oil tank or fuel tank. Filters and dust caps of 100 mesh or more are installed at the fuel filler port, and the seals of each part are well-made. Filters and drain valves are installed in appropriate parts of the lubrication system. 4. The oil for electrical appliances such as transformer oil has high water requirements. The oil should be changed as soon as the weather is dry, and the oil after opening should be added to the equipment immediately. Petrolube's use of lubricant monitoring Petrolube's lubricants will gradually deteriorate and deteriorate during use. This is an inevitable rule. There are two kinds of aging metamorphism: one is normal aging deterioration; the other is abnormal deterioration due to abnormal factors such as water pollution. Conducting the monitoring of the use of Petrolube's lubricants, you can keep abreast of the technical status of the oil, prevent equipment lubrication accidents and prolong the service life of the oil. Monitoring method: 1. Check the operator to perform the “five-set” specification Peugeot for equipment lubrication. 2. Sampling and observing the appearance of the oil, checking the color, transparency, smell, etc. of the oil. 3. Regularly carry out key physical and chemical indicators such as viscosity, flash point, moisture, acid strontium (or alkali value) that reflect changes in oil quality. 4. Water explosion test and stain test can be performed without a laboratory. 5. Analyze with modern instruments. For example, the infrared spectrometer is used to determine the change of the additive in the oil, and the metal abrasive grain or element change in the oil is determined by a spectrometer or ICP emission spectrometry. Instrument analysis is fast and accurate, and it is very important for the lubrication management of large key equipment such as generator sets.
