Answer: Monitoring the use status of lubricants can timely grasp the technical status of the oil, prevent equipment lubrication accidents, and extend the service life of the oil.
(1) Implement the "five-fixed" management of equipment lubrication.
(2) Take samples to observe the appearance of the oil, and check the color, transparency, odor, etc. of the oil.
(3) Regularly test key indicators that can reflect changes in oil quality, such as viscosity, flash point, moisture, acid value (or alkalinity).
(4) Use modern instruments for analysis. For example, use an infrared spectrometer to measure changes in additives in the oil, and use an iron spectrometer or ICP emission spectrometer to measure changes in metal abrasive particles or elements in the oil.
