Stop sweating the CLS exam!
Lubrizol K2M in cooperation with the STLE has developed a series of seven online programs to help you.
This program will cover different aspects of identifying the proper cleaning system to help maintain your operating equipment: identifying soil characteristics, chemical make-up of cleaners, cleaning methods as well as a review of some potential health hazard associated with the handling of these cleaners. The second part of this program will help you become familiar with the assorted variables involved in identifying the appropriate sealing device for your application. We will discuss: seal materials, the properties of those materials, the different seal types, as well as the selection criteria involved.
