Better Planning Means Better Reliability
Whether you’re working to improve your current lubrication program or developing one for a new plant build, IFM can help you get your lubrication program off on the right foot by performing a detailed lubrication survey, audit, or engineering study.
Lubrication Surveys
While the term lubrication survey or “lube survey” means different things depending on who you ask, the basic goal of the survey is to ensure that each piece of rotating equipment is using the correct lubricant. Lubricants are selected based on the following factors:
- OEM Specifications
- Environmental Considerations
- Process Interaction
- Performance Characteristics
