Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Practice of Lubrication: An Engineering Treatise on the Origin, Nature and Testing of Lubricants, Their Selection, Application and Use Lubrication has for many years received only scant attention and existing standards of lubrication still leave considerable room for improvement. Very few firms employ qualified chemists to assist them in maintaining a reasonable standard of efficiency; and such a thing as technical service embodying a highly trained staff of lubricating engineers was unheard of until recent years and is still considered an expensive luxury by most firms. A development is, however, gradually taking place in the right direction. Both oil suppliers and oil users are beginning to realize that lubrication can no longer be left to guess work; that to send salesmen out with a set of samples and a price list, but without the necessary technical knowledge or backing, is to court failure; that entertaining customers or obtaining business simply through friendship between salesman and buyer is not sufficient, because friendship does not add to the lubricating value of the oil, nor does it always help to select the right oil or use it in the right way. Lubrication is rapidly becoming a science. Some oil firms have appreciated the value of the assistance of a staff of qualified lubricating engineers, who should be able to inspect a plant, to report intelligently on the lubrication conditions of all engines and machinery, to point out and estimate the value of possible improvements in regard to savings in power or lubricants, to investigate complaints, etc. These men should have a thorough knowledge of their firms´ products, so that they can recommend ´the correct grades for any kind of machinery, even without knowing anything about the lubricants actually in use. Obtaining samples for analysis and "matching" them at a lower price per gallon is unfortunately still the standard of procedure of most oil firms, and should be discouraged by the consumer in favor of a more efficient lubrication service, which places the supply of lubricants on a sound engineering basis.
