A friendly reminder from industrial lubricant manufacturers: Industrial lubricants encompass a wide range of lubricant types and practical application fields. Although there are many different varieties, the major ones—such as turbine oil, bearing lubricants, hydraulic oils, gear oils, machine tool lubricants, greases, metalworking fluids, textile lubricants, quenching oils, heat-transfer oils, electrical insulating oils, refrigeration oils, and rust-preventive oils—are widely used in industry and well-known to the public.
Lubricants used in most cases can be broadly categorized into two types: lubricants for industrial machinery and oils used in industrial production processes. Gear oil falls into the former category and serves solely as a lubricant; quenching oil belongs to the latter category. Quenching oil, when heated to high temperatures, rapidly “removes” the heat from steel, while also functioning as a process oil. Quenching oil allows steel to harden within it, but it does not provide lubrication. In other words, the oil is used to cool the steel billet rather than to lubricate it.
How are quality considerations for industrial lubricants? An industrial lubricant manufacturer is here to answer your questions!
1. Lubricant base oils. Mineral base oils should be those produced via hydrocracking, hydrofining, reforming, or isomerization dewaxing processes, as well as synthetic base oils.
2. Additives. Additive technology is the core expertise of lubricant manufacturers and completely determines the performance and service life of lubricants. Typically, there are no fewer than eight types of additives. Commonly used lubricant additives include detergents and dispersants, antioxidant and anti-corrosion agents, extreme-pressure and anti-wear additives, oiliness and friction-modifying agents, antioxidants and metal deactivators, viscosity index improvers, anti-foam agents, demulsifiers, pour-point depressants, rust inhibitors, and composite additives. Given the wide variety of additives available, the specific type and quantity used depend on the manufacturer.
3. Lubricant performance indicators include both physical and chemical parameters. Generally speaking, a good lubricant should possess the following characteristics: a high viscosity index, a high flash point, a low pour point, resistance to emulsification, anti-foaming properties, antioxidant capability, anti-friction properties, excellent compatibility with rubber, a desirable color, and no irritating odor.
Industrial lubricants are technology-intensive products that require a focus on both technology and service. In the sale of industrial lubricants, lubrication management is an extremely important topic. Only by effectively managing lubricant operations can we ensure proper lubricant usage, fully harness their technical performance, guarantee smooth operation, extend their service life, conserve lubricant materials and energy, and enhance both economic and social benefits.
How should industrial lubricants be transported and stored? An industrial lubricant manufacturer has the answer for you!
(1) Bulk lubricating oils. 1. Containers used for filling and storing lubricating oils must be kept clean. 2. The transportation and storage of transformer oil and turbine oil require “dedicated tank lines”; other types of oils should be stored and transported separately according to three categories: internal combustion engine oils, hydraulic oils, and gear oils. 3. During transportation and storage, special attention should be paid to preventing the ingress of water and impurities. 4. The storage period for bulk lubricating oils generally does not exceed six months. 5. The density of lubricating oils is approximately 0.75 to 0.95 grams per cubic centimeter, making them lighter than water and insoluble in water. The flash point (open cup method) of most lubricating oils is typically above 150°C, classifying them as combustible materials. During storage and transportation, care must be taken to prevent leakage that could contaminate the environment or cause fire. 6. Indicate the name, brand, grade, quantity, and date of入库 (entry into storage) clearly. In principle, the same type of oil produced by different manufacturers should not be stored together. If mixed storage is necessary, a “mixing compatibility test” must be conducted first, and operations can only proceed after confirming there are no adverse reactions.
(2) Oil in drums. 1. Crude oil operations are strictly prohibited on oil-loading and -unloading vehicles. The stacking height of the oil must be appropriate, and the number of layers should not be excessive to avoid the risk of collapse or damage to the products. 2. During transportation and storage, special attention should be paid to preventing water and impurities from contaminating the oil. 3. The storage period for lubricating oils packaged in drums can be longer than that for bulk oils, but generally should not exceed one year. 4. Different types of oil should be stored separately, with clear labels indicating the name, brand, grade, quantity, and date of入库 (entry into warehouse), to avoid errors during shipment.
