On January 30, members of the Toronto Section gave a 2 hour presentation to around 100 4th year mechanical and industrial engineering students.  It was at the invitation of Professors Chan and Tham. Ken Brown, Eco Fluid Center spoke on tribological losses, causes of bearing failures and why we have to do better. Jim Arner, ret'd, spoke on his experiences solving and trouble shooting lubrication issues and Wilson Solongo, Chemtura, spoke on STLE and the benefits of Student Membership. About 27 expressed an interest in joining so it was a great success and we hope to get enough volunteers for the student section.

Basic Hydraulics

Date/Time: Wednesday, February 12, 2014; 12-1pm Central Standard Time (CST)

Presenter: Dr. Robert Gresham, STLE

Abstract: This webinar is a quick overview designed specifically for those new to the subject or those looking for a review or refresher to sharpen their understanding or to help prepare for a certification examination. The webinar will begin by covering the basic engineering principles of fluid power. Then we will review the key mechanical components: pumps, actuators, and controls. We will then review the common accessory components: accumulators, filters, and reservoirs. Finally, there will be a very brief discussion of fluid functions, fluid types, fluid properties, and fluid care and maintenance.

Cost: $39 for members; $59 for non-members

Understanding the Multiple Ways Turbine Oils Fail

Date/Time: Thursday, February 20, 2014; 12-1pm Central Standard Time (CST), with additional time for Q&A from 1-1:30pm 

Instructor: Greg Livingstone, Fluitec International

Abstract: Most users believe that turbine oils fail due to oxidation. Although turbine oils are subjected to plenty of thermal stress over their life, there are multiple mechanisms that causes these fluids to fail. This presentation will provide an overview of the various ways that turbine oils degrade, along with real world case studies and examples. Understanding failure modes however is beyond an academic exercise. Many of these modes of failure have known solutions. The presentation will also review solutions to remedy failure modes, ultimately leading to longer lasting, higher performing turbine oil.
