EFFECTS OF MIXED-FIELD RADIATION ON LUBRICATING OILS

Abstract

Samples of 3 aircraft turbine lubricating oils were irradiated while being worked in a special Dynamic Test Loop. MIL-L-7808C was irradiated at 3 exposure levels ranging from 4.6 x 10 to the 6th power to 2.0 x 10 to the 9th power ergs/gm(C)-hr. The results of property and performance measurements made on samples withdrawn during each irradiation indicate that MTL-L-78080 is somewhat more sensitive to reactor radiation than GTO-790 or MIL-L-9236B, both of which exhibited a similar resistance to radiation. Some variations were also noted between worked and unworked samples of each oil.
