How to prevent oil contamination
2

INTRODUCTION
Oil contamination is one of the major causes of
component failure in industrial machinery.
Therefore, it is essential to pay special
attention to oil cleanliness to avoid any
resulting downtime and high repair or replacement
expense

Storage in controlled conditions
You need to be cautious about storage facility
conditions. Usually oil is stored in metal
containers with lids susceptible to temperature
fluctuations. Hence the lids can expand or shrink
due to temperature changes, creating room for
contaminants to enter.

Clean Containment
The containment vessel for oil needs to be
thoroughly cleaned before transferring the
product into it. Take special care to ensure all
openings are sealed properly to prevent air borne
contaminants from entering
5

Keep Tabs On Water Content
Controlling water contamination in a lubricant
increases the equipments service life.
Laboratory testing and analysis can assess water
content far more accurately than anyone can by
mere visual inspection.
6

Monitoring Cleanliness Levels
For effective monitoring of the oil, check for
cleanliness levels in the machine, as well as at
several other points, such as new oil sources,
bulk tanks, in stored lubricants or oil in
service in equipment.
