Abstract :
The development, current use, and future prospects for oil-monitoring technology are reviewed, with emphasis on military turbine engine applications. The evolutionary trend from laboratory analyses the development of online techniques is described. Technologies with high potential for advanced wear debris and lubricant condition assessment are reviewed. Desirable attributes of such future systems are described. It is concluded that major efforts are required to develop useful, effective online systems that will have wide applications
