When used properly, fluid analysis becomes a valuable diagnostic tool that can reduce maintenance costs, increase productivity and boost company profits. When used in conjunction with other diagnostic technologies such as vibration analysis and thermography, well-executed fluid analysis strategies can detect a variety of equipment problems before they become failures and give users the valuable time necessary to make decisive, well-informed maintenance decisions. Teachers in auto, diesel, and welding courses can benefit from this training.
POLARIS Laboratories™ will be conducting fluid analysis training classes that are structured to empower the trainees with the knowledge necessary for successfully using fluid analysis to support and attain planned maintenance program goals. These skills will be beneficial for our students when they are working in business and industry.
