is a top-quality rust- and oxidation-inhibited (R&O)
oil that meets the rigid requirements traditionally imposed on steam-turbine
lubrication. Quality turbine oils are also distinguished by good
demulsibility, a requisite of effective
oil-water separation. Turbine oils are widely used in other exacting
applications for which long service life and dependable lubrication are
mandatory. Such applications include circulating systems,
compressors,
hydraulic systems, gear drives, and other equipment. Turbine oils can
also be used as heat transfer fluids
in open systems, where oxidation
stability is of primary importance.
