Learn How Better Contamination Data Can Improve Hydraulic System Performance

Oct. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Designers and users of hydraulic systems will have the opportunity to learn how better contamination data can improve hydraulic system performance from a leading expert at the next National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) Educational webinar, to be held on November 7, 2012 (Wednesday) – 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central.

Title:  Better contamination control through better contamination measurement
Getting more accurate data on hydraulic system contamination

Presenter: Barry Verdegan, Research Fellow, Cummins Filtration, Inc.

Particle counting properly done is a tool for managing maintenance costs and ensuring reliable operation of machinery that uses hydraulics. Particle counting done incorrectly can lead to unnecessary service or impending failure that is not detected in time. This webinar will focus on ISO 11500, Hydraulic fluid power – Determination of particulate contamination level of a liquid sample by automatic particle counting using the light-extinction principle. Use of ISO 11500 enables sound, data-based contamination control and service decisions, reducing operating costs and improving reliability.

Upon registration you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the November 7 webinar.

This is the sixth in a series of six 2012 webinars to learn how to use standards to design and build better fluid power systems.  In 2013 NFPA will continue to present a series of webinars that will focus on key issues facing the fluid power industry today:

--increasing energy efficiency
--improving reliability
--reducing environmental impact
--ensuring system safety

The webinars will be presented by leading experts in the standards that can help you apply fluid power more effectively and efficiently. A brief description and schedule of the 2013 webinars will be available soon at http://www.nfpa.com.
