Abstract:Rust-inhibited petroleum lubricating oils, now widely used, prevent rusting in turbine oil systems except under certain adverse operating conditions. This paper reviews the mechanism of rusting occurring in the liquid and vapor regions of a turbine oil system. Current accelerated rusting tests are discussed as related to rusting in service. Often, the bench-scale rusting tests used do not predict accurately the protection afforded in service. This can be the result of failure to recognize the important rusting… Show more
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.
