Abstract

Serviceable and quality product is dependent on reliable of the entire production device that are influenced by effective and regular maintenance, including checking and replenishing lubricants and other operating fluids. LaserNet Fines®-C can be used for determining condition of the lubricant and operating parts of machinery. This device is used to classify particles (adhesive, abrasive, fatigue, non-metallic) for direct analysis of wear and contamination in used oil samples. In addition, it is possible to obtain information about the number and size of individual particles and evaluate them according standardized cleanliness code (ISO 4406:1999). This paper describes the use of a laser particle analyzer to analyze lubricants (motor oil) from Skoda Felicia Combi 1.3 MPI during its first 40,000 km after complete overhaul. Consumption of used fuel LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is also tracked in relation to the wear.
