Lubrication System Terms – Devoid of water. – The amount of inorganic material in a lubricant, expressed as a percentage by weight. – Mineral oil to which has been added vegetable or animal oil or chemical lubricating oil additives to enhance certain physical or chemical properties of the finished blend. – Electrical device that includes a timer and a monitor. – The failure of a machine or lubricant over time. – A valve that measures positive displacement lubricant by dividing and proportioning input flow. – A condition in which there is no lubrication between two moving parts. – Also referred to as "lubricity," it is an oil or grease’s ability to lubricate. – The resistance to motion between two surfaces in contact. – A positive displacement (oil or grease) lubricant measuring valve that dispenses lubricant when main line pressure rises and resets/primes when its compressed return spring forces the measuring piston back to its rest position at the point at which the main line pressure is vented. – The time period from one lubrication event to the start of the next. – Incomplete or elongated lube cycle caused by a failure of the cycle switch or pressure switch. – A device that checks the operation of a lubrication system against a designated time frame. – A numerical scale for the classification of the consistency range of lubricating greases based on the ASTM penetration number. NLGI grades are in order of increasing consistency (hardness). – The process of combining a substance with oxygen; all petroleum products are subject to oxidation of some degree. The reaction increases with rise in temperature. – A lubricant’s ability to resist reaction with oxygen. – The state of lubrication in which surfaces thickly coated or flooded with lubricant move toward each other at sufficient speeds to develop fluid pressure sufficient to support a load of short duration. – The device that schedules the frequency of lubrication in a system. – The science of the mechanisms of friction, lubrication and wear of interacting surfaces that are in relative motion. –
The property of a fluid, semi-fluid or semi-solid substance that causes
it to resist flow. Viscosity is defined as the shear stress on a fluid
element divided by the rate of shear.
