ISOCLEAN Calculator helps gauge potential level of lubricant cleanliness
Chevron Products Co., a San Ramon, Calif.-based division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., and Noria Corp., a Tulsa, Okla.-based provider of lubrication consulting services and training, launched the ISOCLEAN Calculator, what is said to be a first of its kind tool that helps companies evaluate possible equipment life based on lubricant cleanliness levels. The easy-to-use tool was developed by Chevron Products and is powered by Noria’s Life Extension tables to help calculate the levels of particle contamination that are typical for each user’s specific situation.
Noria’s Life Extension tables summarize the effect of contaminant particles on the expected service life of hydraulics, gears, rolling element bearings and journal bearings.
