This course is primarily for the person entering the lubrication field who needs a broad introduction to the field of lubrication, lubrication principles and lubricating materials. This course is also for individuals not directly involved but who need a broad overview of lubricants and basic lubricating components. This course does not require a formal scientific degree or background, although many technical terms and concepts are covered. Experienced people attend the course to be kept up to date on the latest developments, especially in those areas not directly related to their job function or area of expertise. Thus, Basic Lubrication 103 is usually attended by a broad cross section of people such as technical, technical service, sales marketing, marketing, maintenance, and managers who in some ways are involved in the industry. The Basic course will focus on the fundamentals of lubrication associated with fluid and grease as it applies to basic lubricated components such as gears and bearings. Also, the course will review some basics around base stocks, synthetic lubricants and lab testing. Who should attend: Lubricant Sales Folks, Additive Sales, Lubricant/ Additive marketing, Lubricant Formulator or Manufacturer, Academia, Base Stock Sales or Manufacturer, Original equipment Manufacturer, Testing equipment Manufacturer, Lubricant Governing Associations.
