What Is Viscosity? Definition, Types, and Key Differences Explained

Image
  What Is Viscosity? Viscosity is an important property of fluids that describes how they resist motion. It is one of the most commonly used petroleum-based lubricants and is used in machine shop forges, automatic lathes, etc. Viscosity is the term used to describe the "thickness" or "thinness" of a fluid, or its resistance to flow. Viscosity knowledge is also important for choosing the right lubricant to provide smooth and efficient machinery operation, to avoid excessive wear and minimize maintenance expenses. Viscosity right lubricants reduces friction among moving parts. leading to better machinery performance and a longer life. If the viscosity isn't a match, equipment might run hot, suffer high friction or have a failure. In this article, we will take a deep dive into viscosity, its various types and real-world uses, and how it impacts fluid performance. Definition of Viscosity Viscosity is a measure of how much a fluid resists flowing. A high viscosity fl...

Efficient Transformer Oil Filtration | High-Performance Machine

  Introduction Transformer oil filtration is the solution that helps you get the most out of your power transformers. In this blog, we look at why this vital maintenance procedure is important and how it can increase the life span and reliability of your equipment significantly. Transformer oil (or insulating oil) plays a very important role in various functions like heat dissipation, insulation, and arc quenching in the case of the power transformer. This oil keeps the system well-oiled, but over time, contaminants and impurities will build up in the oil and eventually become less effective and weaken your whole power plant. Enter the "Transformer Oil Filtration". This process eliminates various materials, such as contaminants, moisture, and gases from the oil to assure the highest functioning of your transformers and a longer life of the transformers. Not only does it mitigate the risk of expensive breakdowns, but it also increases energy efficiency while minimizing mainten...
