Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers

 

Chicago Section of STLE Presents:

"Expanding the Use of Standard Test Methods"

Plus Falex Plant Tour & Past Chairman's Night

 

Dirk Drees, Ph.D.

CEO of Falex Tribology
 

Thursday, April 18th, 2019

 

 

Abstract:

Standardized tests provide a basis for evaluating lubricants for compliance with specifications and for evaluating the efficacy of additives. Since such tests are not always relevant to application conditions, modifications of variables including test materials, application methods, advanced data acquisition procedures and precisely controlled test parameters can reveal measurable changes in lubricity. More effective screening of materials is possible when such modified test methods are used, and this presentation will give several examples.
