$50.00Degradation 1 - Fundamentals
Degradation of lubricants is an essential concept to understand for anyone involved in lubrication. Although there is so much more detail to be delved into, this course will at least give an outline of the most common degradation mechanisms.

$50.00Fundamentals 1A: Frameworks for Understanding Lubricants
Once we have foundational knowledge about lubricants and their physical and chemical properties, what do we do with this information? It is helpful to place this understanding into frameworks that can be generalised to any application.

$50.00Oil Analysis 02 - Common Tests
Most oil analysis reports contain a roughly similar set of test results. They differ slightly depending on the application, but the usual suspects include FTIR (oxidation, nitration, soot etc), ICP (for all metals), Karl Fischer Water and others.

$50.00Base Oils 03 - Synthetics & Specialties
When extra performance is required we use synthetic & specialty base oils. Combined with a high-quality additive package these oils last longer in service & can cope with wider extremes of temperature & pressure. However, not all synth...

$50.00Base Oils 02 - Minerals
Mineral base oils derived from refined crude oils dominate the market by volume. API Group I – III oils are the most popular, so understanding how they behave and their physical/chemical characteristics is key to understanding their performance.

$50.00Base Oils 1: Fundamentals
Base oils are a foundational component of lubrication. The base oil viscosity is the leading factor in lubrication performance. In this course we will classify base oils by type and discuss the properties that define base oil performance.
