2. Oil analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_analysis

   Oil sampling is a procedure for collecting a volume of fluid from lubricated or hydraulic machinery for the purpose of oil analysis. Much like collecting forensic evidence at a crime scene, when collecting an oil sample, it is important to ensure that procedures are used to minimize disturbance of the sample during and after the sampling process.

3. Spectrometric Oil Analysis Program - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrometric_Oil_Analysis...

   Spectrometric Oil Analysis Program (SOAP) is a method used by aircraft operators, including several Air Forces of the World, to test the health of aircraft engines by performing frequent laboratory testing of the engine oil. The tests reveal the chemical composition of any metal particles suspended in the oil samples. By comparing the results ...

4. Ferrography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrography

   Ferrography is a method of oil analysis used to inspect the severity and mechanisms of wear in machinery. This is achieved by separating ferrous debris from lubricating oil by use of a magnetic field with an instrument called a ferrograph, the result is then examined with microscopy. A trained analyst can then diagnose faults or predict failures.

5. Total base number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Base_Number

   A colour-indicator titration, for example using test method ASTM D974, can be carried out to indicate relative changes that occur in an oil sample during its use under oxidising conditions. A sample is dissolved in a solvent mixture of Toluene/ Propan-2-ol with 0.5% deionised water.

6. Lubricant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricant

   Motor oil, a common lubricant.. A lubricant (sometimes shortened to lube) is a substance that helps to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move.

7. Saturate, aromatic, resin and asphaltene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturate,_Aromatic,_Resin...

   Saturate, Aromatic, Resin and Asphaltene (SARA) is an analysis method that divides crude oil components according to their polarizability and polarity. The saturate fraction consists of nonpolar material including linear, branched, and cyclic saturated hydrocarbons ( paraffins ).

8. Condition monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition_monitoring

   Machines in this category include the steam or gas turbines in a power plant, crude oil export pumps on an oil rig or the cracker in an oil refinery. With critical machinery being at the heart of the process it is seen to require full on-line condition monitoring to continually record as much data from the machine as possible regardless of cost ...

9. Reservoir simulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_simulation

   BOAST – Black Oil Applied Simulation Tool (Boast) simulator is a free software package for reservoir simulation available from the U.S. Department of Energy. [1] Boast is an IMPES numerical simulator (finite-difference implicit pressure-explicit saturation) which finds the pressure distribution for a given time step first then calculates the ...
