Expand Your Oil Analysis Skills
And Get Better Results ... A Whole Lot Faster!
If yours is like many companies, you may already be winging your way around oil
analysis, perhaps trying to predict failures or just basing oil drains on your oil analysis report
recommendations. Either way, you probably know there’s a lot about oil analysis you haven’t
mastered … and you might be wondering what you are missing. Wouldn’t you like to know ALL
about what oil analysis can do for you? Now you can!
You’ll Learn More Than Just Oil Analysis
Extending oil and machine life are two of the primary goals of oil analysis, but analyzing the oil
won’t make the oil or machine last any longer. That’s why Noria’s proven strategy for extend-
ing machine and lubricant life by up to 10X is the cornerstone of these courses. You will learn
how making small adjustments to lubricant properties can result in huge savings and take your
return-on-investment from oil analysis to new levels.

Onsite Traning
Need to train your team, but it’s always been too expensive? More and more companies are
realizing the value of bringing training onsite. This flexible and cost-effective option allows
you to train as many employees as desired.
The benefits of onsite training are obvious and rewarding:

> Tailored curriculum to address your company’s > Confidential company issues and
nd
needs in a more personable, intimate setting solutions may be discussed freely onsite
> Cost-effective return on investment – with > Strong team-building opportunities
significant savings onsite versus travel expenses
and time away from the plant, downtime and
schedule disruptions are minimized

Lubrication is the foundation of reliability, lubrication training is the catalyst for change, and Noria is the world leader in lubrication
and oil analysis education and consulting. Bring us onsite for tailored, private team training. Call us today at 800-597-5460.
