Maintenance and reliability professionals attend the RPM Symposium to gain practical education they can put to work.

This year's symposium features more than 20 breakout sessions led by industry experts, including Extending Bearing Life With Modern Greasing Practices presented by Tristan Rienstra of SDT Ultrasound Solutions.

Rienstra will share how ultrasound-guided lubrication helps maintenance teams move beyond calendar-based greasing practices and make lubrication decisions based on actual equipment condition.
