Learn About Industrial lubricants, machinery lubrication, contamination control, oil analysis and much more in this intensive self-paced training program


Essentials of Machinery Lubrication training is designed to provide lubrication analyst, condition monitoring experts and predictive maintenance specialist with a greater understanding of fundamental concepts of lubrication.

We recognized an industry-wide need to establish an effective blueprint for a best-practice-based lubrication program. Machinery Lubrication I (ML I) provides the essentials of proper lubricant application while instilling proven industry methods for selecting, storing, filtering and testing lubricants for improved machine reliability.

This training is divided into four modules:

Module 1 covers Basics of lubrication

Module 2 covers Basics of oil analysis and contamination control

Module 3 covers selection of lubricants for critical equipments

Module 4 covers lubrication management

The bundled course on Essentials of Machinery Lubrication covers all the four modules
