*Test Parameters: 1. Viscosity 2. Viscosity Index 3. Flash Point 4. Pour Point 5. Demulsification 6. Copper Corrosion 7. Acid Number 8. Foam Characteristics 9. Oxidation Characteristics 10. Water Separation 11. Rust Prevention 12. Cleanliness 13. Water Content *Oxidation Stability Test : Turbine Oil Oxidation Stability Test (TOST) is a valuable tool in order to indicate oil life for lubricants that are continuously exposed to gross water contaminations, high temperatures, and air entrainment in field service. ASTM D943 commonly referred to as Turbine Oil. Oxidation Stability Test (TOST), is widely used in the lubrication industry to evaluate the oxidation stability. *Best Practices for Steam Turbine Lubrication: 1. Keep Oil Clean, Cool and Dry 2. Install High Capture Efficiency Breathers to your Oil Respective Oil Tanks 3. Monitor returning bearing oil temperature regularly 4. Maintain proper alignment 5. Inspect for signs of foaming and/or Air Entrainment 6. Install primary (return
