Figures & data
Figure 1 The kinematic viscosity at 40°C of various SBOs, fresh and after heating at 85°C for 28 days.
Figure 2 The AVs of various oils, fresh and after heating at 85°C for 7–28 days.
Figure 3 The temperature at which oxidation starts under ambient PDSC. The high-oleic content oils (open symbols) are more stable than the others (filled symbols).
Figure 4 The kinematic viscosity at 40°C of thermally modified SBO blended with synthetic esters.
Figure 5 The kinematic viscosity at 100°C of thermally modified SBO blended with synthetic esters.
Table 1 The oxidation onset temperature, measured by DSC, of lubricant fluids and blends with thermally modified SBO.
Figure 6 The pour point (filled symbols) and cloud point (empty symbols) of blends of thermally modified SBO with lubricant quality synthetic esters.
