Abstract: A method and system for inspecting a steel wheel or steel rim of an off the road vehicle is provided. A method and system for predictive modeling of health and remaining useful life of a steel wheel or steel rim of the off the road vehicle is also provided. The off the road vehicles include vehicles at remote locations such as mine sites.
Abstract: A one-step method of cleaning a girth gear set of a mill in preparation for inspection is provided, the method comprising: substantially emptying the mill; inching the gear; spraying a low, very low or non-Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) cleaning formulation at high pressure onto the gear, the cleaning formulation comprising a non-VOC aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, an extreme pressure lubricant, a fretting wear lubricant, a non-ionic surfactant, and a mixture of non-VOC unsaturated fatty alcohols; and continuing to spray the low or very low VOC cleaning formulation on the gear for sufficient time for the formulation to clean the gear, thereby providing a so cleaned gear.
