Training course overview

The Complete Course on Tribology delivers both fundamental and advanced insights into this essential field. Tribology, which encompasses the study of friction, wear, and lubrication, plays a crucial role in maintaining industrial equipment. Effective lubrication helps mitigate thermal stresses, remove equipment debris, and protect against wear and corrosion, making the selection of appropriate lubricants and testing procedures vital.

This Coventry Academy training course will feature:

  • Understanding materials behavior and fundamental properties.
  • A cost-effective approach to maintenance engineering.
  • Theoretical and practical knowledge of friction, wear, and lubrication within an industrial context.
  • Evaluation of oil lubricants' properties and performance.
  • Practical skills for selecting and implementing optimal lubrication systems.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand equipment failures and maintenance strategies
  • Evaluate current status of their process plant equipment
  • Choose the right lubricants for their equipment
  • Implement cost effective condition monitoring program
  • Outline and adopt best practices for mitigating equipment failures

Who is this training course for?

This Coventry Academy training course is important for professionals, engineers and technicians who work on wide variety of industries. It will greatly benefit:

  • Process plant operation and production professionals
  • Chemical and process engineers
  • Maintenance and services engineers
  • Technicians who deal with maintenance activities
  • Process plant supervisors and managers
  • Mechanical Engineers
