Lubrication
between two
moving surfaces
results from an oil
film that separates
the surfaces and
supports the load.
If oil were put on a flat surface and a heavy block were pushed across the
surface, the block would slide more easily than if it were pushed across a dry
surface.
The reason for this is that a wedge-shaped oil film is built up between the
moving block and the surface.
This wedging action is called hydrodynamic lubrication and the pressure
depends on the force applied to how fast the speed between the objects and
the thickness of the oil.
Thickness of oil is called the viscosity and is defined as the ability of the oil
to resist flow.
Hydrodynamic
lubrication occurs
when a wedgeshaped film of
lubricating oil
develops between
two surfaces that
have relative
motion between
them.

Viscosity
Viscosity is the property of fluid, semifluid or
semifluid substances that cause it to resist flow.
Temperature increase, a lubricants become
thinner or less viscous.
The ideal lubricant is the one with the lowest
viscosity that maintain an oil film between and
the operating temperature of the machine.
Lower temperature : lighter loads and high speeds
= lower viscosity lubricant

Viscosity Index
The viscosity Index is a measure of the rate
at which the viscosity of a lubricant changes
as the temperature changes.
Flash point and fire point
Flash point a lubricant is the minimum
temperature which not enough to burn only
the vapor or flames.
Fire point - a lubricant is the minimum
temperature at which the lubricant will burn
continously.

Pour point
Lubricant becomes so thick that is no longer
flows.
Oxidation Inhibitors
Additives that slow the rate of the lubricants
natural tendency to oxide.
Rust and Corrosion Inhibitors
Additives that improve a lubricants ability to
stick to metal surfaces (as a coating protect
the metal surface from oxidation and rust).

Lighting
Relates to good records.
Complete records as to lubricant
consumption per machines per area.
Requires careful inventory (monthly) and
recording of amounts of oil and grease
issued.
If storeroom is painted gloss white, if
light outlets are well located to obviate
glare and comfortable record desk is
installed.
Benefits :
i.
Improve efficiency
ii.
Reduced handling costs
iii.
reduced risk of contamination and simplified inventory.
.
Upon arrival of bulk shipments:
i.
Each product should be inspected visually for clarity and
cleanliness
ii.
Checked the viscosity with handheld viscometer.
iii.
Each tank should be gauged to ensure sufficient room.
iv.
Tank links and valves should be checked to ensure that the product
is being unloaded into the correct tank.
v.
Sample should be obtained from the tank after unloading and
labeled with product:
a.
Name
b.
Invoice number
c.
Batch number
* Samples should be stored at least 6 months.
