PURPOSE & OVERVIEW
In these times of uncertainty, it is difficult to concentrate on all the daily
tasks required to keep our industry moving forward. Between layoffs,
reduced budgets, and customer’s demanding needs, we have greater
challenges now than we ever have before. However, clients still need their
transportation vehicles to operate properly, with reduced maintenance, and
improved fuel economy. Many advances in technology are still needed to
handle the filtration requirements for high pressure common rail systems in
the field now and for future systems. As the 11th IFC program continues to
emphasize, water removal in both diesel and aviation fuels remain a major
topic of discussion; how to improve water removal devices; how to properly
test these products in the lab and obtain meaningful data and information.
Gary B. Bessee
Director
Fuels & Lubricants Technology
As you review the program, note we continue to have world-class keynote
speakers addressing a variety of relevant topics and presenters presenting
an assortment of topics that cross the various disciplines of our industry.
We have brought in new ideas as alternative aviation fuel, railroad industry
needs and issues, and even filtration needs for sub-sea mining operations.
Our technical training courses are covering material that is informative
to both new and seasoned engineers, and bringing new material to the
conference – this year being our tribology course.
We realize the difficulty in taking time from your normal duties, the expense
of attending our world-class conference, and wish to send a special thank
you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please feel free
to contact us at your convenience.

IFC Courses and Agenda
Each course will last a full day and will include lectures and laboratory
demonstrations. Due to class size restrictions, we ask you select your first
and second class choices. If the first course is full, you will automatically be
enrolled in the second course.
The courses offered this year include:
• "Tribology," presented by Dr. Peter Lee, SwRI
• "Media Development," presented by Christine Stanfel,
Freudenberg Filtration Technologies, L.P.
• "Fuel Properties," presented by Steve Westbrook, SwRI
and George Wilson, SwRI
• "Particle Count Calibration," presented by Dr. Barry Verdegan,
Cummins Filtration (limited to 16 participants)
Course 1: Instructor: Tribology
Dr. Peter Lee, SwRI
This course will introduce the fundamentals of tribology (lubrication,
friction and wear) and how to use these to understand everyday engineering
problems. It will be divided into four main areas plus a laboratory visit.
• An introduction to, factors affecting, and the wide scope of
tribology giving an overview of the subject area plus a little history.
• Consideration of real surfaces and contacts including how to
characterize them.
• Fundamentals of Friction and Wear, theory and practice.
• Lubricants and lubrication regimes
• Laboratory tour including choice of test considerations and
measurement of friction and wear
The purpose of this course is to introduce Tribology to those who have
only heard the term but are unaware of its real meaning and what it involves.
The course will also be useful for those who have worked in this area a
little but are not trained tribologists. It will provide scientists and design
and research engineers with an appreciation of the technical basis of the
subject and is appropriate for those who wish to improve their background
knowledge and understanding.
**************************
IFC Courses and Agenda
Course 2: Media Development
Instructors: Christine Stanfel, Freudenberg Filtration Technologies, L.P.
The instructor will focus on the new demands for liquid filtration—
extending life options with a division between ultrafine particle removal
and water separation. The course will be divided into two sections:
1. Lecture discussions
2. Laboratory demonstrations
The lecture will cover what types of media are available to the industry and
their pros and cons. The material will include discussions on nano-fibers
and possible contributions this new type of media can provide the
industry. The material will address:
• Fiber diameter and particle removal and highlight the need to
determine the removal of sub-4-micron particles
• Water droplet capture mechanisms and the effects of
alternative fuels (FAME) and additives on filtration
performance.
It will also examine the benefits of flat-sheet testing for filter development
prior to full-scale testing. The laboratory demonstration will include
measuring interfacial tension, contact angle, and a SAE J1488 water
removal test.
***************************
Course 3: Fuel Properties
Instructors: Steve Westbrook, SwRI
George Wilson, SwRI
The instructors will discuss diesel and jet fuel properties, how they are
measured and what they mean. With new alternative fuels being introduced
both to the diesel and aviation industries, it is important to understand
compatibility of the fuels and possible sources of contamination. In addition
to the lecture material, the laboratory demonstrations will include JFTOT,
BOCLE, and HFRR demonstrations.
***************************
Course 4: Instructor: Particle Count Calibration
Dr. Barry Verdegan , Cummins Filtration
***This course is limited to 16 participants***
The particle counter calibration course will be limited to the first 16 due
