EM 1110-2-1424 28 Feb 99 1-2 1-5. Scope a. This manual is intended to be a practical guide to lubrication with enough technical detail to allow personnel to recognize and easily discern differences in performance properties specified in manufacturers' product literature so that the proper lubricant for a particular application is selected. b. The manual defines and illustrates friction, wear, and corrosion and how they damage contact surfaces to cause premature equipment failure. It examines the mechanics of hydrodynamic, boundary, extreme pressure, and elastohydrodynamic lubrication to protect against surface deterioration. In practice, manufacturers' laboratories can tailor-make a lubricant for any equipment operating under any conditions by using the right combination of lubricants and additives.
