Background
The "RULER" (Remaining Useful Life Evaluation Routine) was developed by the University of Dayton Research Institute and Wright Laboratory, Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The method was developed in the mid 80's to measure the remaining useful life of gas turbine engine lubricants and was used experimentally with success testing oils from A-10 aircraft flying in Operation Desert Storm detecting significant changes in operating conditions to timely repairs and possibly saving of equipment and lives. The RULER technique has received awards and distinctions such as the 1992 R&D 100 Award and the Consortium of Laboratories Award given by the Department of Defense in 1993. The methodology is presented in the CRC Handbook of Lubrication and Tribology (STLE Vol. III, 1994). It is a superior method for evaluating lubricants from the standpoint of oxidation stability and additive reserve.
