Total Lube Management and True Lubricant Worth (TLW)

Lubricant evaluation and benchmarking programmes that select lube oils by performance and total cost of ownership.

Description

Total Lube Management evaluates lubricating oils by viscosity, additives and performance to help operators choose the right lubricant, monitor oil condition and extend machinery life. Viswa runs the programme across 6 labs worldwide.

True Lubricant Worth (TLW) is Viswa's data-driven methodology for comparing lubricants on value rather than price alone.

  • Performance evaluation: lubrication efficiency, oxidation stability, volatility, air release and water separability
  • Proprietary model converting results into cost per hour of operation, annual operating impact and fleet-wide savings

Applications

  • Lubricant selection and benchmarking for ship fleets and industrial machinery
