LubeWatch Program for maximum equipment uptime
Predictive measures and analysis for operations play an important role especially when it comes to maximizing equipment uptime and ensuring they run longer with minimum damage. That is where Caltex’s LubeWatch Oil Analysis Program comes in.
The oil analysis program is designed to identify contamination levels and monitor the condition of equipment that may result in costly operational downtime if left unchecked.
By analyzing oil samples regularly, maintenance and equipment operators can optimize equipment life span and oil replacement intervals to help schedule preventive maintenance for equipment more efficiently. As a result, implementing this program can immensely aid scheduling maintenance more accurately to reduce downtime or even eliminate the risk of failure.
There are six standard test packages used in LubeWatch oil analysis, each distinctly customized to fit the best range of equipment across different operations:
- (C1) Basic Lubrication
- (C2) Diesel Crankshaft
- (C3) Natural Gas
- (C4) Industrial Oils
- (C5) Metal Working Fluids
- (C6) Turbine Oils
The oil analysis program produces accurate results on six packages with a wide variety of specialized testing procedures, such as an action-based recommendation based on data with a 24-hour turnaround analysis indicating abnormal or critical steps provided in 90 percent of the cases. In addition, the program provides advanced technical services including component failure and/or wear particle analysis as well as in-field counsel and support.
Implementing this program will allow operation managers to track trends in lubricants and equipment more meticulously. Furthermore, it will help utilize the data to set drain intervals and other maintenance schedules that business operations may require.
LubeWatch is designed to help you achieve world-class performance, to find out more about the reliability-based maintenance program contact your Caltex lubricants representative nearest to your location.
