Vapour Space Inhibitor Studies. Part I. The Effect of N-Decanoic Acid on the Oxidation Characteristics of Steam Turbine Oils. Part 2. Development of a Laboratory Method for Measuring the Presence and Effectiveness of Vapour Space Inhibitors in Oils

Abstract

The report discusses the following two topics: Previous work indicated the potentialities of low molecular weight organic acids as vapour space inhibitors for oils but a possible incompatibility with oxidation inhibitors was indicated. These confirmatory tests indicate very much shorter lives for blends containing either 4 methyl 2, 6 ditertbutyl phenol or phenyl- alpha-naphthylamine in the presence of 0.05 percent weight n-Decanoic acid as measured by the Oxidation Characteristics Test (ASTM D943). The development of a potential laboratory glassware corrosion test method for measuring the presence and effectiveness of vapour space corrosion inhibitors is also described.
