A group of wonderful Fluid Lifers got to attend the 13th Annual Be Brave Luncheon. We are proud to be a presenting sponsor for this event as we continue to commit to helping children and adults survivors build brighter futures.

Both Elizabeth Smart and the Little Warriors' Graduate presented powerful messages of hope and the power of healing, and the impact the Be Brave Ranch has on the futures of the survivors.

The team also got to meet Eddy! One of the team members at Dogs with Wings ❤

Let's have a conversation!

Next Stop: CIM Connect 2026

We’re excited to be heading to CIM Connect, taking place May 3rd thru 6th at the Vancouver Convention Centre! Visit us at Booth 432 and connect with Matt Quick and Steve Irving to learn how oil analysis and Fluid Life solutions can help reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and positively impact your maintenance bottom line.

Whether you’re looking to optimize reliability or get more value from your maintenance strategy, we’d love to have the conversation.

Hope to see you there!

Contamination control is one of the most effective ways to improve equipment reliability and one of the most misunderstood.

In industrial systems, contamination typically comes from three primary sources:
• Solid particles (dirt, dust, wear debris)
• Water (condensation, leaks, ingress during maintenance)
• Chemical contaminants (coolant leaks, oxidation byproducts, incorrect fluids)

Even small amounts can accelerate wear, reduce lubricant performance, and shorten component life.

Effective contamination control is about building clean systems, informed decisions, and predictable outcomes. When you control contamination, you control reliability.

Be sure to attend Jeff Walkup workshop at Reliable Plant on Monday June 15th! In his session titled ""From Contamination to Corrective Action: Turning Oil Analysis into Reliability Decisions"", Jeff will will examine how contaminants such as dirt, dust, moisture, and process debris enter systems, how they impact both lubricant health and machine condition, and what practical steps can be taken to control those risks through better storage, handling, filtration, breathers, sampling practices, and maintenance discipline. While there visit us at booth 806. https://fluidlife.tiny.us/4rt5pnrr

As spring turns to summer, diesel engines begin to lose margin for error. Ambient temperatures rise, cooling loads increase, and coolant systems that looked acceptable in winter can quickly become the weak link in the asset. That is why this time of year matters.

In our latest Fluid Insights, Jeff Walkup talks about the importance of coolant testing for your diesel engines and be sure to get your copy of our Coolant Call to Action Checklist. https://fluidlife.tiny.us/2p8h8ver
