Oil Condition Monitoring is a practical course focused on using oil analysis to understand lubricant health, contamination, and machine wear. The course explains the major oil analysis tests, what they measure, how to interpret the results, and how to turn data into maintenance decisions. Participants will learn how oil analysis fits into a condition monitoring program and how to avoid common mistakes in sampling, test selection, alarm setting, and report interpretation. This course is ideal for personnel who receive oil analysis reports but want to extract more value from the data. Content provider: Lubrication Experts.
