NAVAIR 17-15-50.4, JOINT OIL ANALYSIS PROGRAM MANUAL (VOLUME IV): LABORATORY ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT CRITERIA (NON-AERONAUTICAL) (01 JUN 2005) [(ARMY) TM 38-301-4 (AIR FORCE) T.O. 33-1-37-4 (COAST GUARD) CGTO 33-1-37-4]., Volume IV presents the methodology for evaluating analyses of samples from non-aeronautical equipment. The methodology enables an evaluator to identify wear-metals present in the sample and their probable sources, to judge equipment condition, and to make recommendations, which influence maintenance and operational decisions. Following these recommendations can enhance safety and equipment reliability and contribute to more effective and economic maintenance practices. Test procedures are contained in Volume II.
