Development of the Full Scale T63 Test for Specification MIL-L-23699 and XAS-2354 Gas Turbine Lubricants.

Abstract

The T56 engine had been utilized for the full scale engine test required under the qualification process for lubricants Specifications MIL-L-23699 and XAS-2354. As advanced engine operating environments become more severe, and the quality of new lubricants improved, the T56 engine became marginal in its ability to thoroughly test gas turbine lubricants. As a result, a new engine was selected through an evaluation of engines in service. The T63-A-5A engine was chosen because of its present level of severity on the turbine section tube wetted parts and its potential for increased severity testing through engine/lube system modification. This report presents the results of engine modifications and operating procedures developed in establishing the T63 engine test for gas turbine lube oil qualification. (Author)
