Item number: MO21
Compound Steam Cylinder Oils 460, are for use in most Locomotives and Stationary engines working with either saturated or superheated steam.
Technical Specifications:
They are produced from special cylinder stock treated with fatty compounds to provide superior lubrication even if wet conditions are encountered. The fatty compounds form emulsions which spread the oil on the internal surfaces, providing a strong lubricating film where needed to protect bores and valves. This is particularly important where very wet steam has to be handled at the cylinders, or water treatment chemicals are carried with the steam.
ISO460 & ISO 680 are for use with saturated & light super heat steam upto 250lbs/sqin.
ISO 1000 is recommended for high temperature super heat steam over 250lbs/sqin.
Please refer to the selection chart for other recommendations. In addition to cylinders, these oils are recommended for valve chests, slides, linkages and general lubrication, by means of mechanical applicators, atomisers or oil can.
Important Note: These oils must not be used where the steam is being recovered for use as a boiler or process feed and the complete separation from oil is essential.
