Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
Such is the importance of lubrication to the successful operation of machinery onboard ship and ashore, the US Navy is providing financial support to the conference.
Over 50 specialists will present their research at the event, which will be attended by delegates from around the world, including Europe, India, China and the USA itself.
There will also be an exhibition of the latest technologies and systems available to industry.
Director of the Institute, Professor Ian Sherrington, said: "Tribology has a major impact on the world's economy".
"At UCLan we work with companies to prevent equipment from failing due to wear".
"By choosing the correct lubricants and lubrication, and designing machinery well, we can keep equipment running longer, reduce downtimes, and help the environment".
"Tribology is important to all of engineering and plays a part in the successful operation of equipment from washing machines and hair-dryers, through to cars, aircraft and ships".
"This conference is being organised with our Spanish partners, Tekniker, and we are excited about the support from the Office of Naval Research Global".
"It recognises that our work has international importance, and that the UK is a leader in the field".
