RULL assessment by FTIR – a case study on HEMM in Indian mines

RULL assessment by FTIR – a case study on HEMM in Indian mines Scheduled rejection of lubricants in central lubrication systems often leads to loss of lubricants as these could be used for a further long period. To avoid such loss, periodic monitoring of lubricants is suggested so as to forecast the time when the lubricant in a particular system of equipment loses its properties and requires to be drained‐off and charged afresh. To assess the remaining useful life of lubricant (RULL) in use, a new method by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is used. The work is supplemented by a case study on heavy earth moving machinery (HEMM) deployed in Indian mines. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Industrial Lubrication and Tribology Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Scheduled rejection of lubricants in central lubrication systems often leads to loss of lubricants as these could be used for a further long period. To avoid such loss, periodic monitoring of lubricants is suggested so as to forecast the time when the lubricant in a particular system of equipment loses its properties and requires to be drained‐off and charged afresh. To assess the remaining useful life of lubricant (RULL) in use, a new method by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is used. The work is supplemented by a case study on heavy earth moving machinery (HEMM) deployed in Indian mines.
