The most
interesting case is
where Si is high
but Fe is only
Notable.
It is not clear if the
Si is in another
(non-abrasive)
form or if it is in
abrasive form, but
only recently
introduced into the
sump and is about
to cause wear. The
next sample in the
sequence should
help clarify.

Figure 4: Feedback logging directly online to feed CMMS and vet intelligent agent performance
elements since it is unlikely that several air intake
systems are faulty at precisely the same time.
Perhaps the greatest key performance indicator (KPI) of a condition monitoring program is
the return on investment (ROI). The only way to
measure this vital number is to garner feedback,
i.e., record findings and maintenance action
