Tribology and Lubrication

Tribology is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication, and wear.

Lubricant testing and oil condition monitoring provides quality and condition assessment of lubricants and oils used in engines and other expensive machinery and systems.

Lubricant quality control testing includes lubricant analysis programs for large, high-value engines and drive-trains, turbines, ships, trains, generators, offshore platforms, and other highly valuable machinery.

High Temperature Tribology and lubrication is highly interdisciplinary. It draws on many academic fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, biology, and engineering.
