5.4.2.2 Lubricating-oil requirements
Oil quality requirements
Use a high-quality turbine oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors with rated viscosity shown below at 38°C |
100°F.
Oil requirements based on temperature
For the majority of operating conditions, bearing temperatures run between 49°C | 120°F and 82°C | 180°F,
and you can use an oil of ISO viscosity grade 68 at 38°C | 100°F. If temperatures exceed 82°C | 180°F, refer to
the table for temperature requirements.
Temperature
Oil requirement
Bearing temperatures exceed 82°C |
180°F
Use ISO viscosity grade 100. Bearing temperatures are generally about 11°C
| 20°F higher than bearing-housing outer surface temperatures.
Pumped-fluid temperatures are ex-
treme
Refer to the factory or a lubrication expert.
