Implementation of a successful onsite oil analysis program requires expert training.
Courses on this page include:

Wear Debris Analysis Workshop
Class # ATC-2084
This 2-day WDA course provides hands-on experience for the novice analyst. Wear debris analysis is often referred to as the most important form of oil analysis. This course will put this important tool into the hands of the people who know the machines best, inside and out. Wear takes place in many different forms and situations. Emerson designed the course to teach the students how to apply conditions, such as the environment and other outside influencing factors, to the situations and make an accurate root cause analysis. The Wear Debris Analysis class will consist of two days of hands-on wear analysis as well as an informative in-depth presentation about wear particles and how they are formed. The course will also include real-life case studies and comparative analysis. Topics include:

  • Theory Presentation -- wear particle generation, tribology, friction, wear and lubrication fundamentals
  • Sample screening -- discussion of how to use preliminary data and equipment type to select WDA candidates and sample preparation techniques
  • Interpretation of oil analysis results related to WDA
  • Sample preparation techniques
  • Overview of Oilview WDA Module
  • Particle identification and characterization
  • Learn to properly use a white light microscope
  • Preparing patches for diagnosis
  • Analyzing samples under the microscope
  • Distinguishing the most common types of wear under different scenarios
  • Trouble-shooting for root causes based upon WDA analysis

OilView for AMS Machinery Manager
Class # ATC-2083
This course is designed for individuals using the OilView instruments to collect on-site oil analysis data. The course is for “new” as well as experienced OilView users who wish to take advantage of the more advance features of the AMS Machinery Manager software. This course teaches the student database creation and modification, creation and modification of Analysis Parameter and Alarm Limit Sets, how to setup and configure the OilView software module, calibration and use of the all OilView instruments including the 5200 Trivector Analyzer for analyzing oil samples on-site, data interpretation, and basic reporting. The course will also provide basic instruction on the use of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and Wear Debris Analysis (WDA) software modules. Topics that will be covered include:
  • Introduction to Oil Analysis
  • On-Site Analysis
  • Reference Oil database Management
  • Database Construction and Modification
  • Analysis Parameter Sets
  • Alarm Limit Sets
  • Best Practices for On-Site Analysis using OilView
  • Importing Laboratory data
  • Basic Wear Debris Analysis
  • Data Analysis and Reporting

The instructor will demonstrate the proper use of the OilView instruments, to include the OilView 5100 Analyzer, 5200 Trivector Analyzer, 5xDV, and the use of a microscope for basic Wear Debris Analysis. Instruction on the use of the 51FW and 51PC will be provided as supplementary sections. Instrument topics will include calibration, verification, and testing techniques.


Lubrication Level I
Class # ATC-2082A
Emerson designed this 2-day course for individuals who have limited or no oil analysis experience. The class provides guidelines and instruction for starting an oil analysis program. The course focuses on the basic properties of lubricants and lubricant specifications including additive packages. The class teaches an overview of laboratory testing methods and interpretation of test data. In addition, instruction will be provided on proper storage and handling of new, unused lubricants, as well as, sample point identification and best practices for collecting samples from machinery. The course covers basic contamination control, wear debris analysis, and identification as well. Topics include:
  • Effectively create a productive lubricant analysis program
  • Analyze oil analysis data and use the results to make informed decision
  • Identify common types of wear debris, their origins, and corrective actions
  • Describe the importance of contamination control and its impact on reliability
  • Design sampling, storage and handling procedures for new and used lubricants
  • Identify areas and opportunities for improving the overall lubrication program
  • Optional: Level I Lubricant Analysis Certification

Lubrication Level II
Class # ATC-2082B
Emerson designed this 2-day course for individuals who have a basic understanding of lubrication. The focus of this course is the utilization of Lubricant Analysis, along with other predictive technologies, to enhance a machinery health management program including cost reduction techniques. This class covers machine life extension and reduction of unscheduled downtime in-depth. The class introduces lubricant engineering, failure concepts, and failure prevention. The class provides information on greases and synthetic lubricants, including advantages and applications. The class stresses the importance of Wear Debris Analysis, Contamination Control, and their impact on reliability. Guidelines and step by step procedures will be offered for consolidating lubricants, setting alarm limits, as well as, managing and enhancing existing lubricant analysis programs.

Prerequisites: The Lubrication Level I Course is recommended.

Topics include:

  • Define the components of a Machinery Health Management Lubrication Program
  • Identify methods for extending machine life and reducing unscheduled downtime
  • Describe the importance of Wear Debris Analysis and Contamination Control
  • Design a process for lubricant consolidation
  • Recognize potential areas for cost reduction
  • Establish alarms based on historical data
  • Optional: Level II Lubrication Certification

Level I Lubrication/Level II Lubrication
Class # ATC-2082
Lubrication Level 1 (ATC-146) and Lubrication Level 2 (ATC-147) are two separate two-day classes which may be combined for a discounted price by using this part number.
Corporate Training Package - Four Tribology Classes
Class # ACTP-2005
This package enables a customer to easily purchase the courses needed to become a Level I & II Lubrication Analyst. Courses included in the package are:
  • Level I Lubrication
  • Level II Lubrication
  • OilView for AMS Machinery Manager
  • Wear Debris Analysis Workshop
