BFPA International Conference on Managing Fluid and Lubricant Contamination 10 – 11 September 2018
The BFPA’s new International Conference on ‘Managing Fluid and Lubricant Contamination’ will take place at the Centre for Power Transmission and Motion Control, Bath, England on 10 and 11 September, 2018.
The BFPA is organising an international conference on: Managing Fluid and Lubricant Contamination and will confirm the importance of minimising hydraulic fluid and lubricant contamination and how recent developments may be changing our appreciation of what constitutes ‘cleanliness’.
The principal themes of the conference are:
- Contaminant formation
- Varnish – an increasing problem in major applications
- Developments in test methods for assessing fluid and lubricant cleanliness
- Changes to the classification of cleanliness
- The control of fluid cleanliness and contamination by air, water and particulates
- Case studies of problems associated with cleanliness and contamination
A table-top exhibition of products related to these themes will be held adjacent to the conference hall.
This event will be of value to all end users that need to maintain clean systems; those responsible for fluid and lubricant maintenance, filtration, and condition monitoring in a wide range of applications, and many lubricant and hydraulic fluid professionals.
More information on conference fees, registration, programme details will be available soon, but in the meantime if you would like to submit a paper or have any questions please contact Chris Buxton ChrisBuxton@bfpa.co.uk
The BFPA conference will be followed on the 12 – 14 September 2018 by the Bath/ASME International Fluid Power and Motion Control Symposium, FPMC2018. More information is available from the University of Bath on their website (www.bath.ac.uk/ptmc)
Conference attendees will be able to obtain special rates when attending both events.
