SUT Online Training session #4 – The fundamentals of Tribology and their application in Subsea Engineering

HIGHLIGHTS

With many of us in lock-down and unable to travel for training or attending external events, SUT have started a series of short web-based training sessions focussed on key technologies and processes relevant to our members across the Society’s areas of interest.

The format is a 20 to 30 minute training presentation followed by up to 30 minutes of QA & discussion. The sessions will be run using a live Zoom feed with a limit of 99 attendees, & they will not be recorded. Attendance is free for current SUT members (corporate and personal) together with anyone who has recently been made redundant from existing corporate members.

The presentation is on The fundamentals of Tribology and their application in Subsea Engineering.

Areas covered will start with:

2. Surface characteristics & measurement
3. Friction mechanisms 

On 7th July 1300hrs we’ll have part 2, covering:

1. The effect of lubricants
2. Functional fluids (so-called because many lubricants have to perform numerous functions besides lubrication)
