Top Tips For Maintaining Air Compressors
Air compressors and their output are valuable assets on which countless plants depend for efficient daily operations. Regular attention to and proper management of the health of these critical equipment systems can save time and money in all manufacturing systems.
John Skalka, service manager for Sullair (Chicago) offers several tips for maintaining your site's air compressors. According to Skalka, following these procedures to help monitor and maintain air-compressor performance can result in reliable equipment and reduced downtime.
—Jane Alexander, Managing Editor
Maintain filters and separators.
Proper maintenance of a compressor's consumable filters and separator elements will not only help to ensure maximum unit uptime, but also maximize its efficiency and performance.
Air intake and oil-filter maintenance should be conducted every 2,000 hr. Monitor the oil filter for contamination and wear metals, leading indicators that air-end maintenance is required.
Air/oil separator elements should be changed every 8,000 hr., along with compressor fluid. Proper air/oil separator maintenance will ensure oil carryover stays within the manufacturer's specifications.
Remember that use of OEM service parts and lubricants in compressor maintenance will help ensure optimal equipment performance.
Sample oil.
Regularly acquiring and analyzing oil samples helps monitor the condition of the compressor lubricant, as well as the unit itself. A robust oil-sampling and monitoring program will alert the user to fluid degradation resulting from increased viscosity, ingestion of chemicals or particulate, and high water content. It can also identify the presence of wear metals, which is a sign of bearing degradation, prior to catastrophic failure.
Oil-condition monitoring makes it possible to change the lubricant only when necessary to maintain peak performance. Samples should be drawn quarterly, during routine service maintenance on a compressor.
Remember to always draw your samples through a clean oil-sample port or from the center of the oil sump. Doing so will ensure that the results are free from particulate contamination.
Keep variable-speed drives clean.
Many of today's compressors are equipped with a variable-speed drive (VSD) that increases efficiency and reduces energy consumption. While VSDs are electrical components, they are not completely maintenance free.
Most VSDs contain cooling fans and heat sinks that can accumulate dust and dirt during regular operation. Maintenance activities will help them run cooler and prolong their service life.
Eliminate the guesswork.
For plants that are unable to ensure regular compressor maintenance with in-house resources, outside support is available. Check with your local air-compressor sales and service center about plans that allow skilled, factory-trained technicians to routinely service your compressor(s) and related air-system equipment.
Finally, keep in mind that proper maintenance will help you realize years of reliable service from your compressor. MT

A Hoarder of Information
When it comes to lubrication, Scott Arrington relies on 34 years of information gathering to ensure he always has the correct answer for his customers.
By Michelle Segrest, Contributing Editor
Scott Arrington is a hoarder—a self-described hoarder of information, that is. The World Wide Web is not big enough to hold all the information upon which he relies. In fact, he has so many manuals, binders, and oil samples, he needs two offices—one to work in, and another to contain all the valuable records, documentation, and research he will never throw away.
Arrington is the Lubricants Technical Manager at G&G Oil Company, Muncie, IN. When a customer calls with a question, he wants to be sure he has the correct answer. "I have abundant resources to make sure we make the correct recommendation the first time and can quickly answer questions from customers. I keep all records of opportunities we have already experienced."
As a college student, Arrington worked part-time for the company painting convenience stores, bumper poles, and canopies, and performing maintenance.
"It was a great summer job, and it helped me to get familiar with the business," Arrington said. "When I graduated from Depauw University (Greencastle, IN) in 1986, I was still looking for a full-time job and the owners of G&G Oil (Bill Gruppe, deceased; Hoyt Neal, retired; and Dale Flannery, retired) were gracious enough to allow me to come work for them in a sales position. They helped me get interviews with a couple major oil companies. I received some nice offers, but when I measured what I really wanted to do and where I really wanted to be, staying here was the best option for myself and my family."
When making that crucial decision, the opportunity to work with people and with a smaller company were key factors.
"When I graduated from college with my science and physics background, I knew I didn't want to spend my life in a lab," he explained. "I was looking around at different options and the owners of G&G Oil offered me a position where I could use my science background to help sell lubricating products while not being tied down to a desk. I was able to get out in the field and see many different and interesting mechanical operations. It was something new every day."
Thirty-four years later, Arrington remains loyal to G&G Oil, and now makes significant contributions—in particular with his deep technical knowledge and impact on the lubrication and oil-analysis programs.
Major responsibilities
It is Arrington's passion to help customers and prospects solve lubricant-related issues. "From my numerous years of experience and attendance at many major oil companies' learning seminars, I have been able to absorb quite a bit of knowledge to assist companies and individuals with their lubricating problems," he said. "I can also assist them with ideas and programs to decrease their total lubrication expenses."
It is Arrington's responsibility to answer technical questions from customers and prospects, working directly with key accounts, assisting salespeople with technical sales calls, maintaining current formulas and developing new products, maintaining and updating technical data sheets, approving all raw materials used in formulations, and approving new finished products that G&G distributes for other companies.
Arrington's team includes a customer-service manager, a logistics manager, a production manager, and a sales manager. He also works closely with the sales representatives to make sure they are supported with sales opportunities and assistance with current customer questions.
Many of the customer's questions include inquiries about machine recommendations. "Customers will call in with questions about a certain brand of product for a certain machine," Arrington explained. "I will delve into the exact specifications of the product they are telling me about and come up with a recommendation of a product we represent—whether it is a G&G Oil-branded product, a Shell Oil-branded product, or from many of the other brands of products we distribute. I try to take away the aura of the name of the specific brand, and assure them that if you don't have that exact brand, the machine will not keel over and die. I educate the customer about my recommended product and that their warranty won't be voided if they use another product brand. The warranty will still be in good standing by using the specification of the product, and not necessarily the brand of that product, in their machinery."
The importance of lubrication
Arrington said he lives and breathes with a simple philosophy—"Learn all you can, and don't be afraid to ask questions." For him, the importance of good lubrication is simple.
"If you don't have proper lubrication in your equipment, it won't run the way it's designed, which will lead to unscheduled maintenance opportunities," he explained. "If your machinery doesn't run, you can't make products to sell. If you can't make products to sell, your business will suffer and you possibly won't be around very long! If you are using improper lubrication practices, your machinery will not run at the optimum level. Your maintenance costs will go up because you will have to replace components more often and you will have more unscheduled downtime. Your total maintenance spend will increase if you are not using the correct lubrication product and applying it at the right time, or monitoring it at the right times to make sure your machinery is running at its optimum level."
Arrington recommends the following lubrication best practices:
• Follow OEM instructions.
• Develop an oil-analysis program that emphasizes:
• condition of the machinery
• trending how the machinery is functioning
• tracking excessive wear of components
• information about the oil (oxidation, contaminants, additives).
If you don't have your own in-house oil-analysis laboratory, partner with a reputable and certified independent oil-analysis provider. Even if you have your own lab you should use an independent lab to occasionally check your results.
• Use different testing procedures to ensure customers can fully see the condition of their machinery.
• Use proper sampling equipment and procedures.
"A good oil-analysis program is like having a blood test for a human. It can tell you if you have problems with a vital organ or some other part of your body that you may need to look into to take medicine for or have surgery," Arrington said. "It's the same with oil analysis—it tells you if the 'organ' in the machine is running properly or if it needs to be examined or replaced because it may have excessive wear or other problems, causing it not to work to its optimum level. A good oil-analysis program allows you to be proactive to schedule maintenance instead of being reactive to a break down."
One of Arrington's biggest challenges, he said, is developing and producing formulas for new products that G&G Oil can offer to its customers.
"It's challenging because of the many different obstacles you're trying to overcome, especially in the metal-working and metal-removal fluids field. You're trying to formulate a product for the customer that will have a long life span for the fluid, a good clean finish for the part, and will provide long tool life," Arrington explained.
There are several different types of additives that can be used, depending on what kind of metal is being manipulated or type of operation being performed. "You have to use the correct balance of those additives to give you an optimum performing product," he said. "I rely heavily on my additive manufacturers to give me guidance. When I have special projects, I consult with them. I design a product in the lab and then collaborate with my suppliers to get their opinion on whether they think it will work or not. Fortunately they agree with me most of the time! The formulating depends a lot on what the application is. You have a pool of additives and base oils that you know about. It's just trying to blend them together correctly to give you the best-performing product for the customer."
Finding inspiration
Learning and then hoarding information provides constant inspiration for Arrington. As an example, he points to the adage, "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for life." It is advice he implements in his own work, every day.
Arrington has been married to Stephanie for 20 years and has two teen-aged daughters, MiMi and Ellie. He gives similar advice to his children.
"I'm sure they get tired of it," he said. "I try to give them advice of the failures I have had in the past—no matter how big or how small—and remind them how important it is to learn from them. I also try to get them to look at the big picture. I want them to see the repercussions of their actions. It may seem like a small thing, but it could be a big thing down the road. I try to be a great representative of myself and my family and my company. My children are growing up in a different time with different challenges and problems, but we all need to learn from history and our mistakes." MT

Reliability Changes Lives
Using skilled technicians and advanced technology, Eli Lilly and Company creates life-saving medicines and devices worldwide.
By Michelle Segrest, Contributing Editor
At Eli Lilly, the motivation to improve production reliability is not just something that is tracked on graphs and charts for upper management to review. In fact, for maintenance and reliability engineer Carrie Krodel, it's personal.
Krodel, who is responsible for maintenance strategies at the Eli Lilly Indianapolis facility's division that handles Parenteral Device Assembly and Packaging (PDAP), has a family member who uses the company's insulin. "I come to work every day to save his life," she said. "Each and every one of us plays a part with reliability. Whether it's the mechanics or the operators keeping the line running, the material movers supplying the lines with the products, or the people making the crucial quality checks, everyone is a part of it. And we all know that the work we are doing is changing lives."
The Indianapolis site covers millions of square feet with nearly 600,000 assets that must be maintained. According to Rendela Wenzel, Eli Lilly's global plant engineering, maintenance, and reliability champion, the company produces the medicine as well as the packaging for insulin pens, cancer treatments, and many other products and devices.
For the entire Eli Lilly team—which includes a group of about 80 engineers at the Indianapolis site—the responsibility is crucial. "If we mess up, someone gets hurt," Wenzel said. "This is a big responsibility."
However, it's the human element of this responsibility that inspires an exceptional level of quality.
Team, tools, training
Wayne Overbey, P.E., is the manager of the Maintenance-Manufacturing Engineering Services department. He said his team of seven maintenance technicians uses three primary technologies every day to keep the machines running—vibration analysis, oil analysis, and infrared technology. With a focus on condition-based monitoring, each team member has an area of responsibility to collect and analyze vibration data. In addition to the vibration data collector, each team member carries a small infrared camera to make heat-signature images used to diagnose and troubleshoot rotating-equipment problems.
The team also uses a digital microscope that can zoom to 3500X magnification. This helps them look closely at a bearing race, cage, and rolling elements and see what caused a failure, whether structural, corrosion-based, or failed lubrication. In addition, the group has an oil laboratory that can analyze oil and grease.
The team performs more than 7,000 measurements on more than 4,000 rotating/reciprocating machines and performs vibration analysis on those machines monthly, Wenzel stated. The level of qualified individuals is high. "Anything that is process related, we have the equipment to look at it and analyze it," she said. "We have people with ISO 18436-2 Cat 2 and Cat 3 verifications and even one expert with an ISO18436-2 Cat 4 certification, and there are fewer than 100 people globally with that level of certification. These guys are experienced, high-level certified professionals."
The maintenance team increased its level of performance more than five years ago when it made the strategic decision to outsource the facilities (buildings and grounds) portion of maintenance. With about 220 maintenance professionals companywide at the Indianapolis facility, this allowed the team to focus more on production and analysis rather than the facilities, Overbey said.
The team has sophisticated data-collection routes set up as PMs and also focuses heavily on maintenance training.
"We have a difficult time finding people interested in maintenance," Overbey said. "We have a strategic program to train people that takes 18 months to 2 years. When I was growing up, being an electrician or mechanic was a fine career, but now the attitude is that you have to have a college degree to be successful. Most of our crafts people here make more than the average liberal-arts major. As we cycle out the baby boomer work force, we need to find new talent and close the gap."
Wenzel agreed that finding qualified crafts people has been a focus that has helped Eli Lilly in its drive for reliability.
"Wayne saw the need and developed an excellent program," she said. "Management is supportive. He is training them and then sending them to get experience while they are going to school."
The program is responsible for hiring 24 trainees, to date, and has been able to place 18 of them in full-time positions within Lilly maintenance groups. The remaining six trainees are still in the initial stage of the program. The training also uses basic maintenance programs provided by Motion Industries and Armstrong. Last year, there were more than 30 well-attended training classes focused on equipment used at Lilly. The company wants the training to be relevant to what the maintenance technicians perform on a daily basis.
"The whole condition-based platform makes us unique," Wenzel said. "We have all the failure-analysis competencies. It's a one-stop shop. We provide two-to-three day courses on condition-based technologies for crafts and engineers. The whole understanding, as far as what maintenance and reliability can do, is to increase wrench time and uptime. We are all seeing an uptake in technology."
Best practices
Overbey stated that his main responsibility is to help the various site-maintenance groups improve uptime by using diagnostic tools to identify root causes of lingering problems. With a focus on training paying dividends, he said the high-quality people are what make the condition-based monitoring team successful.
The team works with the site-maintenance groups to reduce unexpected failures, so increased time can be focused on preventive maintenance. "We look at our asset-replacement value as a function of our total maintenance scheme," Wenzel said. "We look at recapitalization and make sure we are reinvesting in our facility. We keep track of where we are with proactive maintenance. Those numbers are tracked facility to facility and then rolled into a global metric."
Vibration analysis and using infrared technology has become a central part of the department's reliability efforts.
"These guys have taken responsibility for the failure-analysis lab and taken it on as an added-value service," Wenzel said. "For example, if there is a failed bearing, they take it out, cut it up, and provide a report that goes back to management. If we make a call that a piece of equipment has increased vibration levels and is on the path to failure, based on the vibration data collected, getting those bearings goes a long way in getting site buy-in when the actual bearing problem can be visually observed. Most individuals are skeptical when shown the vibration waveform (squiggly lines), seeing the bearing with the anomaly is the true test of obtaining their buy in."
"We can compete with anyone in terms of oil analysis," Wenzel added. "We can identify particles and have switched to synthetics. For example, when oil gets dirty, it becomes acidic. Something slightly acidic can be more harmful than something that is highly acidic because it will just continue to eat away at the material and cause significant damage before you can stop it. Something slightly acidic can really tear up bearings. The FluidScan 1100 can detect that."
More than 80% of the oil samples are now handled internally, Wenzel said. "As we are selling all of these capabilities to the PdM team around the world, we are starting to look at some of the potential issues at other facilities to provide extra analysis with this condition-based maintenance group," she said. "We are sharing good ideas and processes across facilities. We now have a maintenance and reliability community."
Eli Lilly employs Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and the use of many chemicals requires a high level of cleanliness that is checked daily and regulated by government bodies.
Changeovers can often take weeks. "We check everything," Wenzel said. "There is very involved and stringent criteria for how we clean a building. Regulations are a challenge, but they keep you on your toes. You don't even notice it anymore because it becomes a part of what you do. It doesn't faze the day-to-day thinking."
Operational excellence
Eli Lilly works with cross-functional teams in which maintenance, engineering, and operations are working on the overall process. Operations manager Jason Miller is responsible for running the process. Maintenance corrects the issues and performs preventive maintenance to get ahead of equipment failures and prevent unplanned downtime.
"Anytime we have an equipment failure we evaluate what happened and see what process we can put in place to get ahead of those things," Miller said. "Line mechanics are on each shift and work with our line operators to understand and troubleshoot issues. We get ahead of issues to ensure [there is] no impact to the quality of our process.
With advanced robotics and a large amount of automation, monitoring performance and quality is key to successful operation and production, Miller stated. "Everything is captured, including downtime and rejects," he explained. "We identify corrective actions at every morning meeting. We use the data on the line to drive improvement. The line is automated, but if there is a reject every 100 cycles, we need to take action. The robotics never stop. If you see overloads or rejects over time, this tells you about mechanical wear and other issues with the equipment. We drive data-driven decisions for maintenance."
The preventive maintenance includes lubricating linear slides each month. When vibration is detected, adjustments are made immediately. "The machines tell us what's going on. We just have to know how to read them," Miller said. "We have manual and visual quality checks, but the machines also do quality checks. Reliability is critical because when patients are waiting on their medicine, the machines have to run the way they are supposed to run all the time. We have standards, and they have to be precise. This is medicine going into someone's body. We are the last step of the process. It has to be packaged and labeled correctly, as well."
Mike Campbell is the maintenance planner and scheduler for PDAP and has developed a system in which all preventive maintenance is performed during scheduled shutdowns.
"We develop a schedule with every piece of equipment and every scheduled PM associated with it," Campbell said. "One line may have 50 to 60 PM work orders to perform during the week of the scheduled line shutdown. We bring in a lot of resources to do it all at once, typically requiring a day shift and a night shift."
Changing lives with reliability
Wenzel said that looking at how each department interacts helps to put all the pieces of the reliability puzzle together. They have even received outside recognition of their practices in Indianapolis. In 2008, The Corporate Lubrication Technical Committee, of which Wenzel is the chair, won the ICML John Battle Award for machinery lubrication.
"It's not only a cost piece, there is a whole asset-management piece and a whole people piece that we have to look at–not just the numbers, the metrics, the bars and charts–it's the whole thing that makes a facility tick," she explained. "Reliability isn't just my job…it is everyone's job. Every time I get into my car and turn the key, I expect it to come on. Every time I run that piece of equipment, I want it to perform the same way every time. That, to me, is reliability."
Overbey said reliability is about being tried and true. "It's predictable. It's reliable every day. It's the whole conglomeration of things that is very complicated, yet very simple. When all is said and done, reliability is a huge advantage for a company. You are only spending money when you need to. But it's very difficult to get there."
Wenzel said that consistency is a key to reaching reliability goals. Eli Lilly has global quality standards and good manufacturing practices that are applicable to each of the company's sites across the world.
"Reliability means the equipment is ready each and every time it runs, and it should perform the same way each time," Krodel said.
Doug Elam is Level 4 vibration certified, which is a rare level of qualification. He works on Overbey's team and also tried to define reliability. "Reliability is an all-expansive subject that touches on different types of technology, the goal of which is to improve efficiency in machinery performance," Elam said. "It requires an intense study of the background functions of the machines."
Regardless of the definition, reliability for Eli Lilly always circles back to the human element.
"Patients come through and perhaps are on insulin or a certain pill, or a cancer treatment that has changed their lives," Wenzel explained. "We listen to them, because it's not just the medicine that matters, but the packaging and ease of use. It puts what we do in perspective. We take this feedback and incorporate it into our designs. It starts with an end user's idea and need, goes to design, goes through production, then back to the end user. It's like a circle of life."
The research is carefully conducted with the end user always in mind.
"A lot of research is done to make the best fit for each subset of people," Wenzel continued. "And at the end of the day you have a marketable product that you can be proud of. Being on both sides of the business, you understand why medicine is so costly. But when you find the one niche that helps cancer patients, or the kid who is near death, and then you can be a part of developing this medicine that completely changes his life, it just makes it all worthwhile."
And yes, it's personal.
"When you know people who use the products," Wenzel said, "the work you do becomes a part of you." MT

Practical Oil Analysis: Why and What For?
Simply hoping your lubricants are operating within their protective-specification limits doesn't make it so.
By Ken Bannister, MEch Eng (UK) CMRP, MLE, Contributing Editor
Lubricants are designed and chosen to perform as finite and perishable, integral components of host machines. Rarely, if ever, will a lubricant be employed in identical application and environmental conditions. Enter oil-analysis testing.
Why we test
The uniqueness of lubricants reflects how and when they must be tested, maintained (filtered and temperature controlled), and changed out. Stresses and influences such as load-induced shear stress, thermal degradation, various types of contamination, and wear-metal-catalyzing alter and prematurely degrade lubricant properties.
Oil is made up of a base oil and an additive package that's designed to combat ambient and working environmental stresses/influences and deliver reasonable lubricant life. Outside stresses produce an array of detrimental effects, including oxidation, polymerization, cracking hydrolysis, and evaporation that manifest as thickening or dilution of viscosity, acid buildup, and sludge. Additionally, when oil loses some of its protective ability, its host bearings can come into contact with one another and release metal-wear particles into the lubricant, which then act as a bearing-attacking abrasive material (three-body abrasion).
These effects and conditions are why we analyze oil. This testing is how we ensure lubricants are serviceable and bearing surfaces are protected.
What we test for
Oil analysis is analogous to a blood test wherein a single, properly extracted fluid sample is used for a variety of diagnostics that indicate machine and lubricant conditions. To ensure an accurate interpretation of results every time—reliable ones suitable for trending and historical analysis—samples must be collected in a consistent manner and sent to the same laboratory for testing on the same equipment.
The lab will also require a virgin sample of any lubricant to be tested. This sample is used to document baseline measurements of base-oil type, additive-package levels (metals and chemicals), cleanliness level (dirt-contamination level), and viscosity and acidity. A set of initial samples detailing how and where each was taken will also be required for each machine.
Good laboratories also document an operational profile for each machine tested. Based on it, they can recommend additional beneficial testing, e.g., a Karl Fischer water-contamination test for a food plant with daily machine wash downs; tests for soot and glycol in mobile equipment and generator engines; or ferrographic analysis of metal particulates to determine specifically how a bearing is failing.
Basic oil analysis concentrates primarily on fluid property and fluid contamination.
Fluid-property testing
In analyzing fluid properties, laboratories typically look at viscosity, acidity, and additive elements—the "big three" characteristics that make oils unique—and which, through their changes in service, can tell us how to better maintain our lubricants.
Viscosity. The viscosity rating of new oil is typically measured in centistokes (cSt), i.e., oil's kinematic viscosity depicting measured resistance to flow and shear by the force of gravity. As oil thickens or dilutes over time, however, its specific gravity changes, leading to errors in gravity-based tests. A more consistent measurement is achieved by checking for the absolute viscosity rating depicting oil's resistance to flow and shear through measurement of its internal friction. Because absolute viscosity is measured by multiplying kinematic viscosity by the actual specific gravity, it's an accurate, error-free trending method of choice for most laboratories. To understand which tests your lab used, note the measurement scales: kinematic viscosity (good test) is measured in centistokes (cSt), absolute viscosity (best test) in centipoise (cPs).
Given oil's many variables, it's best to work with a laboratory that's experienced in setting up caution and critical limits for your industry type. Most labs typically start with a clearly defined set of viscosity limits of –10% CL (critical lower), –5% CaL (caution lower), +5% CaU (caution upper), and +10% CU (critical upper) for industrial oils. In more severe environments, the CaU and CU limits can be reduced to +4% and +8%, respectively. For oils with viscosity improvers, the lower limits are usually doubled.
Thickened, more viscous oil points to oxidation (depleted additives), air entrainment, and/or contamination. Thinner, less viscous oil points to a wrong substitution or fuel dilution.
Acidity. The acid number, or AN, is a measurement of the acid concentration in the oil, not the acid strength, and is greatly affected by the presence of water within the oil. Most oils start with an AN of less than 2.
Setting limits for acidity isn't as easy as setting those for viscosity. The caution and critical limits are dependent on the type of additive package used in the oil. Most standard mineral oils are considered corrosive over AN 4, whereas AW (anti-wear) or R&O (rust-and-oxidation-inhibited) oils are considered critical well below AN 3. Working with your oil supplier's engineering department and/or a reputable oil lab with experience in your industry is the best way to set up meaningful acceptable limits for your environment.
A change in oil's acidity (TAN) points to base oil deterioration, oxidization, and contamination.
Additive Elements. The table on p. 38 lists the typical standard elements for which oil analysis tests. Since some perform in multiple functions, they must be checked against a virgin sample and operational profile to determine if they are beneficial or detrimental when their values are compared with known values.
Fluid-contamination testing
Dirt, water, and chemical contaminants are highly destructive to lubricants. For the most part, however, they're easily avoidable.
Solids contamination. Testing for solid contaminants involves particle counting based on ISO Cleanliness Code ISO 4406:1999. One method requires a technician to use a light microscope and manually count the number of particulates in a 100-ml oil sample that are >4 microns, >6 microns, and >14 microns in size. The total is then compared with the ISO 4406 cleanliness chart to derive a three-number ISO cleanliness rating. An alternative, automated approach leverages sensors and light-absorption principles to detect and count particles. With this method, ISO 4406 calls for three sample size counts at >4 microns, >6 microns, and >14 microns.
Water contamination. Water in oil promotes rust and corrosion—and, in a dissolved state, will accelerate oxidation. Water can be introduced as contamination through wash downs of equipment or leakage. Prevention measures include coalescing filters/breathers and physical waterproof protection around areas susceptible to moisture ingression.
Testing for water contamination typically involves the Karl Fischer moisture titration method: A vaporized oil sample is carried by oxygen-free nitrogen into a reaction-vessel containing methanol. Trapped moisture is titrated to an end point with a reagent to establish the presence of water in parts per million.
Beyond why and what
The procedures discussed here represent the major components in standard, inexpensive oil-analysis testing. In most cases, they'll indicate when to change oil, based on condition. Unusual or inconclusive findings should generate more-specific testing that can lead to positive outcomes for both lubricant and machine. MT

I have been a Central Kentucky Realtor for over 20 years, and I love the rewarding nature of the business - helping others find their little piece of heaven in the Bluegrass. See my past client reviews here. I also love the flexibility that real estate affords me to enjoy spending time with family, motorcycling, hanging out by my pool, playing with my dogs, and seeing new places! There's no other career I could imagine that would allow me to do so. The love of my life for the last 40 years also provides me with insight into the mortgage market, as a lender for Stockton Mortgage. Go team Tackett! And that's Bob in a nutshell.

100th U.S. Open Cup Final: Preview and Prediction
On paper, it is a lopsided affair as Salt Lake comes in with an excellent MLS record and D.C. United the worst MLS record. With a sold-out, boisterous Utah crowd awaiting (typically one of the best crowds to be counted on from game to game in MLS) and a team kicking around good ball, D.C. has its challenges to overcome for the upset.
For many years, the Open has been considered an underdog's event. D.C. has that in its favor and it has tradition.
D.C. United is the Green Bay Packers of MLS. They were the big early winners of the League. They were the finalist in the first four MLS Cups, winning three Cup titles. In the League's first year, they pulled off the rare double, winning both the MLS Cup and the U.S. Open Cup. Since, they have appeared in three other U.S. Open Cup finals, winning one other time.
As an underdog event, typically it has meant teams from lower tiered divisions rising up to surprise higher leveled teams and moving on. In recent years, a Division II team has surprised the U.S. soccer world by making the finals, like the Charleston Battery in 2008, or even winning the Cup, as the Rochester Rhinos did in 1999.
This year's event is special because of the longevity realized. 100 years is not usually associated with anything soccer in America. But, it's not a lie. The history is undeniable.
It is time for this event to take a more special place on the calendar with U.S. sports fans. The U.S. Open Cup compares well to the NCAA Men's Basketball event, but how can this bracketology become better branded?
There's no clear answer on how it gets accomplished, but the 'event status' is there to be taken advantage of. (I suggested the Cup Final should be played the day after the MLB All-Star game.)
Salt Lake is in virgin territory. They may bend a little, but they won't break.
As for D.C., it is the single biggest game of their season. It's nice to even have something this special happen in a season so pitifully displayed in MLS. (This is the beauty of soccer and being eligible to win three different championships every year, MLS, U.S. Open and CONCACAF Champions and a Supporters' Shield-that is like a fourth.)
This title is a little more extra special than the typical U.S. Open Cup. The name engraved on this one is the 100th champ. Expect a hard fought battle, especially as D.C. comes in with its best players rested and not having played over the weekend. Maybe D.C. scores an early goal and puts some pressure on Salt Lake, but Salt Lake's skill will wear D.C. down and they will win going away, 3-1.

4 simple steps to protect your idea while transforming into product
You have an idea for a blockbuster product, you have figured out that there is a huge market opportunity and you want to capitalize by transforming your idea into a reality. As a first time entrepreneur, you will face several challenges like raising funds, building infrastructure, preparing prototypes and designs, marketing etc.
At each stage during this course of transforming your idea into a successful product, you will be interacting with 'outsiders' like technical experts, ex-colleagues, business community and many others, discussing your 'idea' to refine it and shape it into a better product. And each time you share your idea, it comes with a risk of getting stolen.
So here we give you a quick 5 step guideline on what steps you can take to protect your idea and mitigate the potential risk of losing all your hard work to others:
1. File a provisional patent application
This is the quickest way to protect your idea which is still in a nascent stage. You get a priority on the patent for your invention and can take advantage of the patent pending tag in all your marketing efforts.
Make sure that you convert your provisional patent application into a regular one within 12 months to exploit the full potential of your patent rights. Click here to file a patent
2. Apply for Trademark
Trademark rights are the most suitable protection means for your brand names, logo, captions or any other identifying marks of your company, your goods or services. This ensures that the catchy brand name that you have got is safeguarded against replication.
Let us also tell you that according to the Indian Trademark system, you can suffix the letters TM with your brand name as soon as you have filed the trademark registration application. Click here to file a trademark
3. Copyright your code
Copyright is another means of good IP practice that you should exercise as it does not involve any overhead cost. Copyright protects any form of literature, art work, music, multimedia content that you have created against plagiarism.
Copyrights are the easiest DIY [Do-it-yourself] ways of protecting your intellectual property. Be it your source code, your web content, blog articles or presentations make sure that you end it with
"©, Year of creation and the author/ owner name".
One must be informed that this practice alone ensures that you are the owner of the copyright but as a proof of ownership, you can always certify the content with Registrar of Copyrights in India. Click here to file a copyright
4. Due diligence
Due diligence in legal parlance refers to steps taken to avoid committing a tort or offence. It is strongly recommended to the startups to have a DIY due diligence to ensure that good "IP practices" are being followed in the organization. A simple way to start this practice is by documenting every idea that is being worked upon and make notes of any reference material used during the entire ideation to product release cycle.
Follow these four simple steps while you are working on your product and you will have a strong IP portfolio that raises your valuation.

(Reuters) – A professor was identified by authorities on Thursday as one of the men fatally shot in a murder-suicide at the University of California, Los Angeles, that shut down the sprawling campus for two hours a day earlier.
William Klug, 39, was one of the men killed in the shooting in the school's engineering building on Wednesday, the Los Angeles coroner's office said.
Los Angeles police said on Wednesday the gunman shot himself after fatally wounding another man, but declined to elaborate on the circumstances of the incident.
University officials said classes would resume on Thursday and counselors will be available for students, faculty and staff.
"Our hearts are heavy this evening as our campus family mourns the sudden and tragic deaths of two people on our campus earlier today," said Chancellor Gene Block in a statement.
Klug was a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, according to the university's website. The Los Angeles Times reported that Klug was attempting to develop a computer-generated virtual heart.
"You cannot ask for a nicer, gentler, sweeter and more supportive guy than William Klug," professor Alan Garfinkel told the newspaper of his colleague.
The coroner's office declined to identify the other man involved in the shooting. The incident caused the large campus to be locked down for about two hours as students were told to shelter in place.
Engineering student Aaron Feigelman said he received a text message alerting him to an emergency and entered an adjacent building, where he and five others took refuge for 90 minutes.
"We tied the bathroom door hinges with belts to keep the door closed because there were no locks. And we just waited. It was really scary," Feigelman said.
Some 200 police officers wearing bulletproof vests and helmets responded to several calls of shot fired, converging on the campus with rifles drawn, fearing the shooter might still be active.
Police recovered what may turn out to be a suicide note and a gun at the scene, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said.
UCLA, attended by more than 43,000 students, is in the Westwood section of Los Angeles and is one of the more well-regarded schools in the University of California system.
"I am heartbroken by the sight of SWAT teams running down avenues normally filled with students, and angered by the fear that one person with a firearm can inflict on a community," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said.

I realized recently that this blog was supposed to be about my relationship with my skinny boyfriend, and I really haven't talked about that at all. Shame on me, I've been selfish in only talking about my personal weight problems without him in the equation! We need to fix this. Stat.
Let me start out by saying I love my boyfriend. We've been together for over three years now, and it's been fantastic. Fantastic despite the scary fifteen pounts that have come and gone over the course of our relationship. I'm not saying I blame him for the love handles — he's just not exactly helping the situation.
Allow me to explain. On a typical Monday or Wednesday night, we commute home together after school (I'm a baby, my mom is crazy, I'm not allowed in the T garage after dark). I appreciate the fact that we get to see each other, because with our class schedules and homework and internships and everything else, it can be difficult sometimes to find the time. The only problem is, when we are together, I lose all self control when it comes to food.
When I'm by myself, I usually don't eat after dinner. I'll have my sensible meal around 6:30 or 7, maybe indulge in a cookie or candy, and that's it. I don't even think about food. When I'm with the BF, however, all that sensibility disappears. You see, he and I operate on completely different eating schedules. I like breakfast, and always eat something before 10. He can't eat anything before at least noon. You see where this is going? He eats his three meals, but they time themselves out at like 12:30, 7 and around midnight. I eat my normal three meals at around 10, 2 and 7. Again, on days when we don't see each other this wouldn't matter. But when we're sitting on the couch together and he's having his 11:30 dinner of Taco Bell and Wendy's (yes, that happened), I can't help but join him.
So, I essentially end up eating four meals to his three. Maybe that's how he stays so skinny? It seems like he's eating more in the day, but when you think about it, he's really not.
How many girls out there face a similar problem with their SB?

This place was highly recommended by an Austrian friend of mine. Glad I went there. The food was great, the Austrian beer tasted great and the waitress spoke Austrian and was so friendly.
I loved to go there every Friday for a Wiener Schnitzel or Cordon Bleu, reminding me of home. Really nice place, also good beer! If you like Austrian/German food, go there!
Called 20' before arrival, very friendly and helpful staff. Great, relaxed place with great austrian food and beer and wine. For NYC there is huge space between the tables, service is not pushy at all and noise level is good. Great place, will be back!

Item Discontinued
I made this one for a sweet 2 year old girl who just had her birthday. I'm going to frame it before I give it to her and let her mother add her favorite photo. I kind of felt like I over did it with the bling but my 12 year old didn't seem to think so. Cinderella was cut at 7 inches and the blue of her eyes was painted on with a fine tip brush and acrylic paint. I find this is much easier to do than deal with those tiny pieces. The whites are usually ok but I like to paint the irises on most of the time. Blushed her cheeks with Stampin Up Chalks

A reality check on terrorism
While there is by now a full comprehension of the disaster that is Iraq, there is still not enough understanding of the parallel bankruptcy of the greater war on terrorism and the political and media discourse that has accompanied it.
We have been in denial for the last five years about the reasons for Muslim terrorism.
What we have had, instead, is a war of words against Muslims and Islam, which has created a dangerous polarization between the West and the Muslim world.
This tension is the topic of a just-released report by a cross-cultural United Nations panel of 20 eminent citizens, including Bishop Desmond Tutu.
Sponsored by Catholic Spain and Muslim Turkey, the group has arrived at the same realistic conclusion reached by increasing number of governments, think-tanks and experts: The causes of the conflict are not religious, but political.
Yet for the last five years, the West has been, in the phrase of French Orientalist Maxime Rodinson, theologocentric: seeing Muslims only through the prism of their religion.
This tendency, coupled with the tactics of deflecting attention away from American foreign policy, goes a long way in explaining why most of the rationales offered for Muslim terrorism have been found wanting.
When 15 of the 19 terrorists of 9/11 turned out to have been Saudi citizens, several experts blamed Wahhabism or Salafism, the austere interpretation of Islam practised in Saudi Arabia.
The problem with the formulation was that the Saudi ruling family, the patrons of Wahhabism, remains a staunch ally of the U.S. and the chief guarantor of the energy needs of the West.
Blame was also laid at the doorstep of madrassas, religious schools, especially in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
But the bombers of Bali, Jakarta, Karachi, Islamabad, Jeddah, Riyadh, Ankara and other spots were not products of such schools.
Those who carried out the 2004 Madrid bombing and the 2005 London bombings were Europeans, born or raised and educated there. Three of the four British attackers were second-generation British. The 18 Canadians charged with terrorist-related crimes are graduates of Canadian public schools and universities.
Another post-9/11 theory was that suicide bombers were hoping for virgins in Paradise. That promise may have motivated some but not others, certainly not women bombers such as the "black widows" of Chechnya, who had no such sexual favours to look forward to in heaven.
So we must return to earthly reasons for Muslim terrorism.
An official British report on the subway bombing concluded that the culprits were "ordinary British citizens with little known history of extremist views," but who were radicalized by injustices committed by the West against Muslims.
A report by the Royal Institute of International Affairs also linked the bombings to British involvement in Iraq.
A spokesman for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, speaking of potential second- and third-generation Muslim terrorists, has said: "Clearly, they are motivated by some of the things we see around the world."
French academic Olivier Roy, an expert on Islam, has said that "born-again Muslims," including converts, are following the path of European rebels of an earlier era - the Red Brigades or the Basque separatists, who also turned terrorist for their causes.
This, in essence, is what the UN panel also says:
"The Israeli-Palestinian issue has become a key symbol of the rift between Western and Muslim societies, and remains one of the gravest threats to international stability."
(UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan elaborated further: "We may wish to think of the Arab-Israeli conflict as just one regional conflict amongst many. It is not. No other conflict carries such a powerful symbolic and emotional charge among people far removed from the battlefield.'')
(Separately, Tony Blair made about the same point Tuesday.)
"Western military operations in Muslim countries contribute to a growing climate of fear and animosity that is spreading around the world. The spiralling death toll in Iraq and the conflict in Afghanistan help swell the ranks of terrorist groups."
"The perception of double standards in the application of international law and the protection of human rights is increasing resentment and the sense of vulnerability felt by many Muslims ... Reports of collective punishment, targeted killings, torture, arbitrary detention, renditions, and the support of autocratic regimes contribute to an increased sense of vulnerability around the globe, particularly in Muslim countries."
The group condemned those who link Islam to violence.
Such assertions "are at best manifestly incorrect or at worst maliciously motivated."
The panel did note that some of the extremism among Muslims emanates from their own deep divisions on social and political issues, as well as interpretations of Islamic law and traditions. Radicals are advocating "narrow, distorted interpretations of Islamic teachings."
The way to end the lure of radicals, radicalism and terrorism is not to launch more wars, unilateral ones at that, which "inflame the very sentiments they seek to eradicate," but rather to deal with the causes, not the symptoms, of terrorism.
The panel proposes a Canadian way forward: "The rule of law and an effective multilateral system, with the UN system at its core."
Even as we extend our full support to security and law enforcement agencies to ferret out potential terrorists, we cannot dilute the fundamentals of our democracy, namely, that suspects are entitled to know the charges against them and to speedy, fair and open trials.
On the international scene, Canada should revert to its traditional role of consensus builder and become the leading voice in winding down the wars and conflicts that are destabilizing and dividing the world.

Mr.T.IbnIbrahim pls tell us which part of Islamic ideology promotes terrorism.From what I have learned, quran only teaches U to fight in defence and never to attack any innocent.
Is there any religion or ideology that stops u from defending urself ,ur property and religion against ur enemy?
Nazim from USA
A well articulated and well-written piece. Thank you Islamicity, keep printing more.
Rizwan from US
The previous poster claims to refute the consummate Muslim editor of Toronto Star, Mr. Siddiqui that: "If economic disparity and military meddling were sufficient grounds for terroristic reprisal, then why don't we see such violent acts carried out by other "victims" of the West in the world? Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, and Jamaica have desperate social and economical situations, and have been the brunt of poor U.S. policy and practice for a very long time."
Note the writer casually forgets to mention in those countries he mentions only one is where the US violently intervened, i.e. Nicaragua and they did fight the US and its anti-communist allies quite violently and bloodily during the 80's (the Reagan communist Contra affairs) where the leader coicidentally (after the US stopped meddling) has recently been elected President!
I have no doubt that the previous writer is pro-Israeli and under the guise of "T. Ibn Ibrahim" is hopelessly not fooling anyone.
As for Mexico and Jamaica, show me where the US called its army to support the ruling dictators (if they had any) and if there was "communism" or "oil" to be fought and protect US gov't hegemony.
Its time to quit lying and playing politics and listen to the astute Mr. Siddiqui who lets it known quite eloquently. Keep it up, sir you make us all proud!
T. Ibn Ibrahim from USA
Editor Siddiqui's assertion that terrorism's causes are not rooted in religious ideology but are rather the result of the West's "war of words against Muslims and Islam...[creating] a dangerous polarization between the West and the Muslim world," if true, would indeed place the blame squarely on the oppressive political pundits in the West. However, the rationale, even when echoed by a faulty U.N.-endorsed report, still lacks legitimacy. If economic disparity and military meddling were sufficient grounds for terroristic reprisal, then why don't we see such violent acts carried out by other "victims" of the West in the world? Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, and Jamaica have desperate social and economical situations, and have been the brunt of poor U.S. policy and practice for a very long time. The Southern and Central African Republics have equal grounds to rise up in protest with a horrific AIDS crisis, drought, civil feuding and lack of assistance. Russia, too, could protest its post-communist plight. Yet the only Russian terrorists are from the predominantly Muslim areas of Dagestan and Chechnya Though politically incorrect and upalatable, the reality is that decades of vitriolic rhetoric from Mosques, Madrassas, and Universities have bred a mindset bent on violence, blaming the economic disparity on "The Great Satan's" activity in the Greater Middle East. Sadly, the logic of Siddiqui implodes on itself when considering that the Madrid and London bombers enjoyed far greater luxuries and liberties in the "oppressive" West than they would in their ancestral lands of North Africa or Pakistan. The tragic reality is that the consistent strand running through global terrorism--whether in Indonesia, East Africa, Yemen, Europe, or the U.S.--is the legitimization of such violence by a religious ideology steeped in such practice. Watch, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" for greater clarity on this topic.

Whirlpool tubs, such as those available from American Standard, can be installed as new unit or used as a replacement for an existing tub. The whirlpool tub is installed in the same manner as a standard tub, except for the electrical connections for the pump/motor. Once you've determined a place for your American Standard whirlpool tub, you can install it yourself.
Things You'll Need
- Tape measure
- 2-by-4 boards
- Circular saw
- Nail gun
- Mortar mix
- Bucket
- Trowel
- Drywall screws
- Power drill
- Pencil
- Level
Measure up from the floor 19¾ inches with a tape measure and make a mark on each stud, in the enclosure for the tub, with a pencil. This will indicate the location of the underside of the tub deck.
Draw a line to connect each of the marks, using a level.
Measure the width and length of the whirlpool tub with the tape measure. Transfer the measurements to the 2-by-4 boards. Cut one piece to match the length and two pieces to match the width with the circular saw.
Attach the 2-by-4 boards to the line you drew, using a nail gun.
Combine the mortar mix with water in the bucket. The mortar should be the consistency of pancake batter.
Pour the mortar mix on the floor for the base of the tub. Smooth out the mortar with the trowel. Allow the mortar to dry for at least four to six hours.
Place the whirlpool tub in the enclosure so that the rim of the tub is level with the 2-by-4 boards or stringers. Remove the tub and wait another 12 hours for the mortar to harden.
Place the whirlpool tub back into the enclosure. Drive drywall screws into the flange of the tub and into the studs with the power drill.
Connect the water supply lines and the drain line to the tub. Plug the pump/motor into the electrical outlet to complete the installation.
Tips & Warnings
- The electrical wiring for the pump and motor needs to be grounded and should be done by a licensed electrician.

Nick Clegg accuses Farage of siding with Putin over Ukraine
Nick Clegg has accused Nigel Farage of "siding with Vladimir Putin" after the Ukip leader said the EU had "blood on its hands" over the Ukraine crisis.
The Deputy Prime Minister said he found it "shocking" when Mr Farage suggested the EU's approach to Ukraine had led to military intervention by Russia.
During the LBC debate on Europe yesterday, the Ukip leader said the EU's policy had encouraged the Ukrainian people to challenge the country's government, which in turn provoked Russia into action.
He said the EU had given the Ukrainian people "false hope" of moving away from Russian influence.
Speaking on his LBC radio show this morning, Mr Clegg said the remarks were "insulting".
"I was extraordinarily surprised - if not shocked - that he agrees…
