The most terrible word for any equipment is wear. Fuel and lubricants are used for movement and friction, the first provides movement, and the second will help the mechanism work stably.
The quality of lubricants depends on their properties; let us consider them in more detail:
1. Kinematic viscosity
This property characterizes the viscosity of the liquid during movement. The lower the kinematic viscosity, the easier the liquids and gases flow. This affects the ability of the motor oil to lubricate engine parts.
2. Flash point
The minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to form a flammable mixture with air.
3. Pour point
The temperature at which the liquid turns into a solid state when cooled. Antifreeze is a cooling liquid that prevents the cooling system of cars from freezing in the winter. All because of ethylene glycol, water in combination with it has a lower pour point. Industrial lubricants often depend on this indicator.
4. Dropping point
The temperature at which the lubricant begins to evaporate and form vapors that burn in the presence of sparks. The higher the dropping point, the less likely a fire is to occur.
5. Penetration
This property is important for lubricants and sealants. A lubricant with high penetrating ability will penetrate into gaps and mechanisms more easily. A lubricant with low penetrating ability will be resistant to high temperatures. This is important, for example, for a part such as a bearing. These properties will help you in choosing fuel delivery services.
Types of fuel:
- Gasoline is intended for internal combustion engines. When choosing this fuel, you need to consider the composition, octane number and vapor pressure.
- Kerosene. Previously used for lighting. Has high volatility and increased combustion heat. Often used as a lubricant.
- Diesel fuel can be viscous and low-viscosity. Low-viscosity is used for freight transport, and the second for high-speed vehicles. Diesel fuel suppliers order diesel fuel for low-speed engines and industrial equipment, tractors and special equipment.
