what is turbine oil ?

Turbine Oil is a very high-quality, rust and oxidation (R&O)-inhibited circulating oil developed for use in industrial steam turbines, rotary air compressors, and many other industrial applications. It is specially formulated to protect against sludge and varnish formation to provide long service life.

Turbine oil 32 | 46 | 68 | 100 grades are premium quality lubricating oils formulated using a specially optimized mix of base oils and additives- corrosion inhibitors, oxidation inhibitors, defoamants and demulsifiers. Designed to provide efficient and trouble-free service in precision industrial machinery having the most exact lubrication requirements. The excellence of TURBINE grades is the combined result of selected stable base oils, efficient refining methods, and effective additives

Super Edge Turbine oils meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer requirements for many turbines, generators, and governors-

• They provide long-lasting performance
• Strong Control of Oxidation
• Excellent water separation
• Rust and oxidation resistance
• High Resistance to Foaming and Rapid Air Release
• Resistance to varnish and sludge formation

Turbine oil uses (Applications )

• Lubrication of steam turbines, light-duty gas & hydraulic turbines
• Axial and Centrifugal, dynamic turbo-compressors and pumps where an R&O type or turbine oil is recommended
• Can be used in hydraulic systems requiring a very long life lubricant of outstanding properties.
