Training Course Overview

The The Complete Tribology Course: Friction, Wear and Lubrication offers both basic and advanced insights into this crucial field. Tribology focuses on the study of friction, wear, and lubrication, playing a vital role in the performance of industrial equipment. Lubrication serves key functions such as reducing thermal stresses, clearing wear debris and dirt from machinery, and providing protection against friction, wear, and corrosion. To achieve these functions effectively, it's essential to select the right lubricants and implement proper procedures for testing and evaluating their properties.

This training course will feature:

  • Appreciation of materials behavior and fundamental properties
  • Comprehensive and cost-effective understanding of maintenance engineering
  • Theoretical knowledge of friction, wear and lubrication in an industrial context
  • Oil lubricants properties and performance evaluation
  • Practical skills in choosing and implementing most suitable lubrication systems

Training Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand equipment failures and maintenance strategies
  • Evaluate current status of their process plant equipment
  • Choose the right lubricants for their equipment
  • Implement cost effective condition monitoring program
  • Outline and adopt best practices for mitigating equipment failures

Designed for

This training course is important for professionals, engineers and technicians who work on wide variety of industries. It will greatly benefit:

  • Process plant operation and production professionals
  • Chemical and process engineers
  • Maintenance and services engineers
