Lubrication Fundamentals, 2 PDH
(Lubrication Fundamentals)

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS

This course, the learner will be introduced to the basics of lubrication, friction and wear and how lubrication is used to reduce friction in typical applications. The course materials is derived from Chapter 2, "Lubrication Principles" in the US Army Corps of Engineers document EM 1110-2-1424, "Lubricants and Hydraulic Fluids".

To complete the course, a multiple-choice test consisting of ten questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
