EPT Clean Oil
In part one of this four-part series, ‘You Can’t Manage What You’re Blind To’, we learned that lubricants don’t die suddenly; they die after relatively long periods of neglect. Lubricant death is, however,
→Next Stop: Leveraging Oil Analysis Data to Determine Maintenance Priorities In part two of our Lubricant Maintenance and Testing series Lubricant Maintenance Program Route Planning, we explore how to leverage oil analysis program
→Life and Death for Lubricants Lubricants don’t die suddenly. In fact, they usually only die after relatively long periods of neglect. The challenge is that few oil-related problems arise in the first half
→The role of bearings in turbomachinery is critical as it supports the entire shaft load in various types of turbines. Proper bearing lubrication is vital to the operational integrity of a turbine, helping
→Dating back to the inception of EPT Clean Oil in 1994, Peter Dufresne has hit the ground running focused on one thing: Lubricant Chemistry Management. If you are in a room with him
→EPT Clean Oil is pleased to announce the completion of ISO 9001:2015 QMS Certification. The Registrar Company (TRC) presented the ISO 9001:2015 QMS certificate to EPT Clean Oil Tuesday, November 16, 2021 following
→MPC varnish potential testing (ASTM D7843) is an essential analytical test to determine the propensity for a lubricant to form varnish deposits. With the probability of varnish-related failures reported to be as high
→Resistivity is a critical performance indicator for electro-hydraulic control fluid (phosphate ester fluid) quality. Low resistivity values are associated with electro-kinetic wear, a common failure mechanism of servo valves. For decades, users have
→Users often complain that before using Group II base-stock oils, they didn’t have a problem with varnish. As a result, Group II oils have a reputation for being varnish prone, leading users to
→Users often complain that their turbomachinery lubricant is not performing well because the varnish potential (MPC) number is elevated, or their oil is oxidizing when additives are still present. This drives users to
