  As a part 2 of #knowyouroil series, we will discuss about Particle Contamination . Whenever we talk about contamination the first thing that comes to our mind is solid particles that we can see or feel. But what we do not understand is how big a particle can really cause wear and tear to your machines, can all contaminants be seen with naked eyes? Is it too late to wait until then? To answer the above questions we must first understand the actual clearance size of the different types of lubrication film formed between rolling and rotating components which is essential for providing proper lubrication. Oil film thickness in machinery is measured in microns (µm), or one-millionth of a meter.

When small particles, which cannot be seen through human eyes, pass through the critical machine parts under load, th

  Oils are used to reduce friction, heat and wear between mechanical components that are in contact with each other. Lubricants are like the blood of your machines. As blood sampling represents the well being of a human body so does the lubricants in case of machines. However, a wrong sampling technique might not reveal the true condition of the machine and thus, leads to the wrong representation and pre-mature breakdown. Thus, MINIMAC SYSTEMS is starting this #knowyouroil series under which we will make you aware of: How to collect a sample  Type of contaminants and how they are harmful for your machines Oil analysis and how to decode it.  Oil changes are mostly done under two conditions: On the basis of time or operating hours On the basis of oil condition Most of the time, changing oil based on time or operating hours is expensive and hence, changing based on oil condition is more viable. At this juncture, an Oil Analysis Report is key to decision making. For accurate oil analysi
