Turbine Oil

ISO VG 32 & 68

Turbine Oil is a very high quality, rust and oxidation (R&O) inhibited circulating oil developed for use in industrial steam turbines and many other industrial applications. It is specially formulated to provide a very high level of oxidation resistance for long service life. Turbine Oil is formulated to provide excellent protection against rust, corrosion and deposit formation. It has excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability at high temperatures to minimize sludge and varnish formation, and provide long service life. It protects system components against rust and corrosion. It has excellent water-separating properties to minimize the formation of emulsions, and is resistant to excessive foam buildup that can interfere with proper lubrication.

Recommended Oil Interval Changes

The frequency of turbine oil system recharges depends upon the application. In general large frame gas turbines could change their turbine oil every 5 to 7 years and the life of steam turbines is approximately double this. There are many steam turbines today that are operating with turbine oil that is greater than 15 or 20 years old, while hydro-electric turbines have been using the same oil for over 30 years. We recommend that you follow the oil and filter change done in frequencies as recommended by manufacturers as stipulated in your owner’s manual.
