Chemical and Physical Properties of Lubricants and Hydraulic Fluids.

Abstract

The method for the determination of the linear flame propagation rates of lubricants and hydraulic fluids has been studied further and has been applied to a variety of samples. A new method for the evaluation of the ignition of organic liquids by hot surfaces has been developed. Data have been obtained for a variety of different samples. The measurement of oxygen absorption rates has been used for the study of the oxidative stabilities of experimental lubricants and hydraulic fluids both in the presence and in the absence of metal catalysts. The chemical and physical properties of various lubricants and hydraulic fluids have been studied. Special emphasis has been directed toward the investigation of properties relevant to the performance of lubricants and hydraulic fluids under conditions of thermal and oxidative stress. (Author)
