Lubricant storage also has the university question

I believe that many people will think that the lubricant belongs to the non-toxic, harmless, non-flammable items, will feel that the storage work will be relatively easy, so will not pay too much attention to the storage of lubricants, which is also one of the more common misconceptions.

Lubricating oil will be because of the use and special, if the storage is not too much attention, it will lead to oil deterioration or even pollution, play out the original performance, and even on the failure of the machine parts may also affect. Therefore, lubricants should adhere to three procedures, classification storage, focus on environmental protection, reduce pollution.

Then we look at how to save lubricants? Read it must be remembered ah!

Two or three questions about lubricant storage

Q.

How to prevent deterioration of lubricants during storage?

The main cause of lubricant deterioration in general is the failure of lubricant additives and the oxidation of the base oil. The oxidized decomposition products of the lubricant will not only accelerate the deterioration process of the lubricant, but will also generate impurities and other substances, which will seriously affect the use of the lubricant, and will further cause corrosion of mechanical equipment.

Therefore it is necessary to:

1. keep the oil storage containers clean, so that the oil is not subject to more pollution, reduce impurities

2. the storage temperature should be appropriate, too high a temperature will accelerate the oxidation reaction

3. keep the container sealed to minimize the inflow of air.

Q.

How can lubricants be protected from contamination during storage?

Water contamination is a common contamination situation. Water contamination not only increases the water content of the oil, but also accelerates the oxidation and emulsification of the oil, which greatly affects the performance of the oil. Next is the pollution of other oils and fats, if the containers used are not cleaned, or not sealed properly, they will be contaminated.

Q.

How do I store lubricants indoors and outdoors?

It is more advisable to store lubricants indoors, where some contamination can occur if left outdoors, but if they must be stored outdoors for space reasons, precautions should be taken to minimize the adverse consequences.

Q.

How should I test for emulsification, deterioration and contamination of lubricants?

This way we can recognize it with basic testing methods. You can observe the color of the lubricant, oxidation may make the lubricant black, water contamination may make the lubricant white or emulsified. Secondly, you can see if there is any precipitate, additive failure may have some substances precipitated. Finally, you can see whether there is the phenomenon of stratification, insoluble in liquid deposits and so on.

Therefore, the correct storage and management of lubricants, lubricant quality assurance and good lubrication of equipment play a key role, so the need for storage, better guarantee the quality of lubricants.
