SynopsisThe results of tests made on 9 viscous mineral oils of various types and on mixtures of these oils with 8 resins are presented. The physical and electrical properties, stability to oxidation, and stability to gaseous ionization are correlated with the viscosity index and chemical com position of the oils and resins. The catalytic effects of metals on oil oxidation are studied. Gaseous ionization in insulation voids is found to exert a physical pressure and to accelerate saturant oxidation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
