New tool helps users calculate potential
equipment life extensions based on the cleanliness of the lubricant
used in equipment
Chevron Products Company, a Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, and
Noria, the worldwide leader in providing lubrication consulting
services and training, today announced the launch of the ISOCLEAN®
Calculator, a first of its kind tool that helps companies evaluate
possible equipment life based on lubricant cleanliness levels. The
easy-to-use tool was developed by Chevron Products Company and is
powered by Noria’s Life Extension tables to help calculate the
levels of particle contamination that are typical for each user’s
specific situation.
“We have worked closely with Chevron to create a tool that will
leverage the comprehensive cleanliness data base of our Life
Extension tables, but in an easy to use format that is very
intuitive and simple,” said Mike Ramsey, President of Noria. “We
have found that most users have no idea how contaminated their
lubricants really are, and how harmful that can be to their
equipment. This resource is a great way to easily calculate the
cleanliness levels, so that customers can take action to help
maximize their equipment life.”
Considering that the number one cause of lubricant-related
failures in equipment is contaminant particles1, the ISOCLEAN
Calculator is crucial in helping users understand their specific
challenges and how to overcome unique obstacles for maximum
efficiency. Noria’s Life Extension tables summarize the effect of
contaminant particles on the expected service life of hydraulics,
gears, rolling element bearings and journal bearings.
How the ISOCLEAN Calculator Works
A simple three-step process collects all the relevant
information of a user’s industry, equipment type and components,
and the conditions that are relevant to the lubricant used in their
operations. Based on the data selected, the ISOCLEAN Calculator
delivers a results report that is customized to each user,
providing the target ISO Cleanliness Code compared to the current
one, visuals of the magnified patch samples of each, and current
lifespan of the equipment versus what it could achieve using
Chevron’s ISOCLEAN Certified Lubricants.
“By utilizing the powerful data from Noria, the new ISOCLEAN
Calculator is just the latest addition to our ongoing efforts to
help customers understand the effects of particle contamination and
prevent premature equipment wear and failure,” said Doug Hinzie, VP
Americas Lubricants at Chevron Products Company. “This tool
provides actionable information that helps our customers improve
their bottom line by reducing unscheduled downtime, and increasing
equipment life.”
Chevron’s ISOCLEAN program includes ISOCLEAN Certified
Lubricants, which have been certified to meet the fluid cleanliness
requirements of OEMs, and ISOCLEAN Services, which are in-plant
services designed to clean up and manage contamination of
in-service lubricants and operating systems. Chevron’s ISOCLEAN
Certified Lubricants meet a specific ISO Cleanliness code at the
point of delivery, which represents the most stringent cleanliness
standards and specifications for lubricants placed in equipment
that are required by several leading OEMs. An important first step
in controlling lubricant contamination is starting with a certified
lubricant. These products help reduce the expense and manpower
required by end customers to pre-filter non-certified lubricants to
meet OEM requirements.
Chevron offers more than 60 ISOCLEAN Certified Lubricants for
critical equipment components from hydraulics to gear oils to
synthetics for a variety of industries: agriculture, construction,
manufacturing, mining, petrochemical refining, power generation,
and waste hauling. ISOCLEAN Certified Lubricants give customers the
opportunity to significantly extend equipment component life by 2
to 4 times in most cases.
