Guide to Astm Test Methods for the Analysis of Petroleum Products and Lubricants by R. A. Nadkarni

Guide to Astm Test Methods for the Analysis of Petroleum Products and Lubricants by R. A. Nadkarni
Publisher: Astm Intl (July 2000) | ISBN: 0803120877 | Pages: 389 | PDF | 6.12 MB

It is critical for testing laboratory personnel to be fully familiar with all the details of the tests they are performing. But it is also important for non-laboratory personnel to know at least the significance, advantages, limitations, and precision of particular tests used to characterize product quality. Only by understanding the pros and cons of these tests can both suppliers and customers reach sound conclusions and agree on the appropriate quality and performance of a product.

For the first time ever, the essential elements of all standards analytical tests used to characterize petroleum products and lubricants are available in one unique volume. Brief descriptions of the 350 tests described, include principles involved, test summary, advantages, limitations, and test precision data. Where available equivalent tests from IP, ISO, JIS, DIN, and AFNOR are also referenced.

Practical Lubrication for Industrial Facilities, Second Edition

Heinz P. Bloch, "Practical Lubrication for Industrial Facilities, Second Edition" 
Publisher: Fairmont Press | ISBN: 1420071513 | edition 2009 | PDF | 500 pages | 16,9 mb

Completely revised, this new edition includes the latest material on oil analysis, the energy conservation aspects of lube oil application and selection and bearing protector seals. Information on synthesized hydrocarbons and oil mist lubrication is thoroughly revised. It addresses the full scope of industrial lubricants, including general purpose oils, hydraulic fluids, food-grade and environmentally friendly lubricants, synthetic lubricants, greases, pastes, waxes and tribosystems. Detailed coverage is provided on lubrication strategies for electric motor bearings, gear lubrication, compressors and gas engines, and steam and gas turbines. Other topics include proper lubricant handling and storage, as well as effective industrial plant oil analysis practices.

Biobased Lubricants and Greases: Technology and Products


Lou Honary, Erwin Richter, "Biobased Lubricants and Greases: Technology and Products"
Wi... | 2011-06-07 | ISBN: 0470741589 | 238 pages | PDF | 101 MB

Due to the rise in petroleum prices as well as increasing environmental concerns, there is a need to develop biochemicals and bioproducts that offer realistic alternatives to their traditional counterparts; this book will address the lack of a centralized resource of information on lubricants and greases from renewable sources, and will be useful to a wide audience in industry and academia. It is based on 20 years of research and development at the UNI-NABL Center, and discusses the various types of vegetable oils available, comparing their characteristics, properties and benefits against those of typical petroleum oils as well as discussing common evaluation tests and giving examples and case studies of successful applications of biobased lubricants and greases. Whilst scientific and engineering research data is included, the book is written in an accessible manner and is illustrated throughout.

* Focuses on an industrial application of lubrication technology undergoing current explosive growth in the global market.
* Includes a detailed review of the material benefits of plant-based lubricants that include a better viscosity index and lubricity even at extreme temperatures, lower flammability due to higher flash points and lower pour points.
* Covers the basic chemistry of vegetable oils as well as their profiles for use in lubricants and greases and environmental benefits.
* Includes examples and case studies of where vegetable-based lubricants have been successfully employed in industry applications.
