Intermediate storage and handling of lubricants

摘要

How effectively lubricants do their job, and for how long, depends on what they encounter between the supplier s delivery truck and their destination in bearings, gears and other mechanical components. "We need to take the lubricant delivered to our facilities with extreme care and precision to make sure the integrity of the product, the labels and other factors stay intact and that the lubricant is as clean - or even cleaner, in many cases - than what is delivered from our suppliers ," said Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) member Manuel A. Garcia, senior technical services advisor for Petro-Canada Lubricants LLC, in a recent webinar presented by STLE Education. This article is based on an STLE Education Webinar presented Oct. 14, 2020, by Garcia.
