Course Description for Basic Industrial Lubrication

Who is this course for?

This course is meant for operators in water and wastewater operations, who need Continuous Education Units

towards their certification with the state and want to add useful & practical information to their professional

knowledge base.

What is the Course Structure?

1. The course is divided into a number of chapters- see chapter details on the next page.

2. Animations and simulations are provided to augment learning – this allows the student to interact with

the learning materials and get a feeling for the dynamism of technical or scientific concepts.

What is the course availability?

This is a totally web-based online course – no physical classroom attendance is required. Prospective students

may enroll at any time, from anywhere, and start the course at any time, from anywhere.

Proper lubrication is fundamental to the optimization of equipment performance, operatingcost and safety. To achieve this objective, facilities engineers, maintenance and operatingtechnicians need to understand the basics of industrial lubrication. Topics covered includepurpose of industrial lubrication; definition of tribology; nature of friction; lubrication science;hydrodynamic conditions; types of lubrication: hydrodynamic, mixed film and boundary;lubricant characteristics; nature of viscosity; mineral oils, greases and synthetic oils; commontypes of industrial bearings; antifriction bearing components; common lubrication systems andtheir application; key operator duties and requirements.

This course provides the basic "absolute-must" knowledge about industrial lubrication thatoperators, maintenance staff and engineers will find useful.
