Two Minute Tips
Safety in Thermal Imaging
Across the world the approach to safety is quite varied, and one can easily become complacent if you do not take a wider view of it. In many forums, regardless of the engineering discipline or matter of social interest, there will be varying views about what is acceptable in terms of safety or what should be common knowledge.

Filtration Prolongs Oil Life, Protects Equipment
Filtering new and used oil prolongs oil life and protects equipment from wear.
Studies have shown that as much as 70% of all premature machine failures can be attributed to contamination. To prevent these failures, it is important to purify the new oil as it comes into the facility and then keep it clean throughout its life. By establishing an ISO code cleanliness goal and maintaining it, you will extend the life of the oil and the equipment.

Five Minute Facts
Could You Benefit from Precision Sampling?
Did you know that changing sampling methods to best practice valve sampling can have a significant impact on corporate profitability? That's because the success of an oil analysis program begins with the oil sample sent into the lab. Incorporating condition monitoring alongside valve sampling has shown to contribute to more compliance, better oil analysis results, and increased program savings. Discover the ways you could benefit from best practice oil sampling.
