AFFECT LUBRICATION

2. Your environment can play a significant role in
increasing or decreasing the longevity of
lubrication. Temperature abnormalities,
extremely wet or dusty surroundings and excess
vibration can have a bad impact on your
equipment. Some of the extreme conditions
include:
INTRODUCTION

3. An elevated temperature is an environmental
condition that can affect lubrication output.
Once lubricant exceeds its base activation
temperature, it degrades twice as fast for every
10 degree increase.
1. Extreme Temperature

4. Dust-filled environments and heavy dirt can lead
to the high risk of particle contamination which
is a leading reason why industrial equipment fail.
Clean environment is essential when it comes to
oil cleanliness and equipment reliability.
2. Dust-Filled Environment

5. Wet conditions can also have a negative impact
on the effectiveness of lubrication. While wet
conditions can lead to lubrication-related failure,
moisture can affect lubricant film strength,
oxidation, and load-carrying ability.
