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 CSI 5200 Machinery Health Oil Analyzer for analyzing oil samples onsite, 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, CSI 5200 Machinery Health Oil 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.
