Course Description
Overview
Grease is used for lubrication of contact surfaces where it is not practical or convenient to use oil. Grease is typically used for applications where its consistency allows it to remain in place, whereas oil would seep away. An example is machinery that is run intermittently or is placed in storage for long periods of time. Grease is also used where it is difficult or inconvenient to access for frequent oil lubrication, such as sealed-for-life electrical motor bearings. As with other lubricants, improper selection of grease for an application can lead to inadequate machinery performance and premature wear and failure of components.
In this course, the student will study the basics of grease selection. The course will cover Chapter 5, "Grease" in the US Army Corps of Engineers document EM 1110-2-1424, "Lubricants and Hydraulic Fluids".
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

State Board Acceptance
This course can be used by professional engineers to fulfill PDH requirements mandated by state and provincial licensing boards. Decatur Professional Development is an approved provider of continuing education in all states that pre-approve course providers. In all other states that mandate continuing education for engineers, it is the individual engineer's responsibility to determine the suitability of activities for PDH credit. The state boards typically accept online* courses that cover technical, managerial** or ethical content and which are relevant to the practice of engineering. The course must have a clear purpose or objective with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensee's field of practice. For questions about your mandatory PDH requirements, visit the website of your state licensing board.
*Online courses are accepted by all state licensing boards that mandate continuing education. Other than New York (which limits online courses to 18 PDH) and Iowa (which limits online courses to 6 PDH), there are no limits placed by other states on the number of hours that can be earned through online continuing education. Consult with your state licensing board if you have any questions about the acceptability of online courses.
**The New York State Board of Engineers does not accept general office management courses, but will accept project management courses that are offered by an approved provider and that are technical in nature and contribute to the engineer's professional practice.
