Turbine Oils for Gas and Steam Turbines according to ASTM D4304, ISO 8068, DIN 51515

Herausragende Eigenschaften der modernen Turbinenöle sind ein ausgezeichnetes Luft- und Wasserabscheidevermögen (Demulgierbarkeit), geringe Schlammbildung und hohe Alterungsbeständigkeit (TOST, RBOT).

Impressive properties of the modern turbine oils are – excellent air and water separation characteristics (demulsibility), low sludge formation and high aging resistance (TOST, RBOT).

Some Examples

• Agip OTE
• Eurolub
• BP Turbinol
• Liquimoly

Chemical Analysis of Turbine Oils

• ISO viscosity class (Viscosity at 40 and 100°C, Viscosity index)
• Flash point (COC)
• Air separation characteristics (LAV)
• Density
• Pourpoint
• Neutralisation number (NZ) / total acid number (TAN)
• Ash content
• Water content
• Solid foreign matter content (filtration, parts insoluble in heptane)
• Filterability (Stage I and II)
• Water separation characteristic (demulsibility)
• Effect of corrosion on copper
• Aging stability (TOST, RBOT)
