Lubrication Leakage
March 17, 2010
A best practice for oil top-up is the recording of volumes of oil added to each machine. The monitoring of oil volume added to a machine will allow an organization the opportunity to determine situations where excessive lubricant is being added, and will possibly point towards unseen or unrecognized leakage locations. Identifying leaks results in minimizing the risk of lubrication starvation failures and it reduces safety risks posed by leaking oil.
