Compact basic knowledge for lubricant users

Lubricants have a significant impact on the reliability, performance, and effectiveness of operating vehicles, work machines or complex industrial equipment. The ever-increasing performance of the machines is accompanied by a growing number of highly specialized high-performance lubricants and functional fluids. Their correct selection, handling and care constantly presents new challenges to the technical staff of the oil companies, service providers and plant operators.

In two modules, we provide you with the necessary basic and practical knowledge to select lubricants for your application. You will learn to understand the application notes, specifications and technical data listed on the technical data sheets and can then apply them safely in practice.

The two seminar modules thus cover the basic knowledge of the largest and most important areas of mineral oil application technology. A special focus is on the customer or user focus.
