Evaluating A Rotary Screw Lubricant Before You Buy
The goal of this article is two-fold; First, to outline what tests should be included on a product data sheet for an air compressor lubricant, secondly, to define each of these tests and associate them to what primary function they effect in regard to performance in a rotary screw compressor. I’ll also present to you some additional screening tests that pertain to this application. The KISS method is used throughout this paper. The KISS method, if you don’t already know, stands for, keep it simple-son. That works for me, hopefully it will work for you too!!

Exterminate Lubrication Problems
An enormous amount of productivity is lost because the correct oil or grease is not properly installed at the right time. Lubrication is a critical responsibility, but in many organizations effective techniques and the technicians who know and do them get little respect. Building the role of lubrication experts -- your "men in black" -- is a relatively low-cost way to materially improve reliability.

Understanding the Basics of Grease
Since lubricating oil can oxidize, so can the base oil in grease. When the grease oxidizes, it usually darkens; there is a build-up of acidic oxidation products, just as in other lubrications. These products can have a destructive effect on the thickener, causing softening, oil bleeding, and leakage. Because grease does not conduct heat easily, serious oxidation can begin at a hot point and spread slowly through the grease. This produces carbonization and progressive hardening or crust formation. All things considered the effects of oxidation is more harmful in grease than in oil.
