147 – What is Oil Analysis with Robert Kalwarowsky

What is Oil Analysis with Robert Kalwarowsky

Lubrication is an important part of asset management and oil analysis plays a major role in keeping the lubrication system of your machines well. There are a number of factors that need to be taken into account while checking the lubricant for impurities and high viscosity etc. That’s why it is important to check the oiling process of the gearboxes and other machine parts that would fail if the condition of the lubricant is not up to the standards. There are a lot of precautions and different tests to make sure that the machines run smoothly.

In this episode, we covered:

  • Why is oil analysis important?
  • Why it’s important to have leaders!
  • Where do you start?
  • And much more!

SOR 399 Paths to Learning Reliability

SOR 399 Paths to Learning Reliability

Paths to Learning Reliability

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss about how to learn to be a reliability engineer. And ‘learn’ means different things. It could be experiential learning. It could be academic learning. It could be instructional or ‘mentorship’ learning. And you tend to be a particular type of a reliability engineer based on how you learn about reliability. But there are pros and cons for each approach. And sometimes, you just ‘stumble’ into a learning process when a company sponsors you to become their expert. There are so many different ways to learn about reliability. This podcast talks about some of the more common ways, and how each tailors to a certain learning path.

Distance Learning and Coaching with Bill Leahy

Distance learning is becoming more trendy in the industry and is preferred by a lot of students especially the ones doing their Masters. The biggest reason that the students choose distance learning over traditional learning is because of the flexibility of the process. Due to this supreme advantage, anyone can get into an online course. It is particularly very advantageous for people who have jobs or need to take care of their families. It is really good for the parents who have limited time and need flexible study hours which distance learning provides. The institutions are becoming more inclined towards it these days.

In this episode, we covered:

  • What is distance learning?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning?
  • How to excel in distance learning?
  • And much more!

RRP 040 Risk, Decision Making & Uncertainty with Devin Luquist

This week, I welcome my good friend Devin Luquist to the show.  Most of you won’t know Devin but he’s a chemical engineer who has worked in oil & gas for the last 7 years before starting his own artificial intelligence company, Woven Cognition.  Devin and I went to MIT, played on the varsity water polo team, were fraternity brothers and took economics courses together.  In the episode, we take a deeper look at risk, decision-making and uncertainty.  We give you some ideas on how to take risk into your decisions, how to deal with variance and introduce expected value.

If you enjoy the show, please tell your colleagues in reliability about it and follow Rob’s Reliability Project on LinkedIn.  I’m putting out some bonus content only for that page so if you follow my personal LinkedIn, you might miss out on some great stuff.

SOR 398 Introducing Accendo Reliability 2020

SOR 398 Introducing Accendo Reliability 2020

Introducing Accendo Reliability 2020

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss the new challenges of reliability in the upcoming years. Accendo was originally setup to help reliability professionals in an objective and broad forum. And this appeared to fill a void. Trade magazines are over-bearing, with sponsor adds replacing well thought-out articles. Professional societies are becoming less and less relevant (but more expensive). And Accendo lists ‘competitor’ programs, blogs and articles where other organizations strictly focus on their products, courses, books and so on. So Accendo has become the only ‘one stop shop’ for the reliability engineering community who want to develop their skills.

RM 004 Improving Reliability of Circuit Assemblies in Harsh Environments

Improving Reliability of Circuit Assemblies in Harsh Environments

With the rapid expansion of IOT, many circuit assemblies are now functioning in unfamiliar environments, many of these environments are harsh. Additionally, many new electronic applications control critical systems such as automotive electronics. This webinar focuses on the influence contamination plays on reliability of circuit assemblies, particularly when operated in harsh environments.

Several contamination-related failure mechanisms are presented including electro-chemical migration (dendritic growth, parasitic leakage) and conductive anodic filament (CAF). Methods to determine how clean is clean enough are discussed.

145 – How to Choose the Correct Seal Type with Chuck Tanner

145 – How to Choose the Correct Seal Type with Chuck Tanner

How to Choose the Correct Seal Type with Chuck Tanner

Seals are very important to contain machine fluids and keep them from different sort of contamination. There are different types of seals in the market such as traditional packing, mechanical seals, air seals, and other seals that keep bearing hoses in check. Traditional packing is one of the cheapest sealing solutions out there in the market. The only difference between a mechanical seal and packing is that the mechanical seals work very well for the rotating piece of equipment. They give precision and accuracy where is needed as compared to the traditional packing where there are a lot more chances of errors while holding the fluids in.

In this episode, we covered:

  • What are seals?
  • What are the different types of seals?
  • What seal types are best for various applications?
  • Can you retrofit different types of seals?
  • And much more!
