What is steam cylinder oil?
Steam Cylinder Oil is a extra high performance high viscosity compounded extreme pressure lubricant that is recommended for use in all high pressure wet or saturated content steam cylinder and steam engine applications. A naturally high viscosity index.
What grade is steam oil?
Compound steam 460 and 680 oils are ideally suited for all steam engines working up to pressures of 175lbs per square inch. With typical steam temperatures up to 450ºF (230ºC).
How is steam oil made?
Modern steam oils contain 4% tallow by volume that comes from animals. Animal oil based tallow is produced by heating or boiling animal carcasses, and collecting the liquid residue. It is this tallow oil that makes steam oil work in the hostile internal environment of the steam engine.
What is model steam oil?
COMPOUND STEAM CYLINDER OILS These oils are for use in most Locomotives and Stationary engines working with saturated steam. They are produced from special cylinder stock treated with fatty compounds and particularly Tallow to provide superior lubrication even if wet conditions are encountered.
What oil do you use in a steam engine?
In steam applications Mobil 600W Super Cylinder Oil is recommended for saturated and superheated steam up to a temperature of 260ºC. Mobil Extra Hecla Super Cylinder Oil and Mobil Extra Hecla Super Cylinder Oil Mineral may be used with superheated steam above 260ºC.
How does a steam engine stay lubricated?
An automatic lubricator is a device fitted to a steam engine to supply lubricating oil to the cylinders and, sometimes, the bearings and axle box mountings as well. There are various types of automatic lubricator, which include various designs of displacement, hydrostatic and mechanical lubricators.
What is steam cylinder oil used for?
Steam oil is often referred to as cylinder oil and compounded steam cylinder oil as its primary use is to lubricate the valves and cylinders of steam engines.
Do steam engines need oil?
The cylinders of a steam engine may present the easiest or the most difficult lubrication problem of any machinery. Some vertical steam engines, operating with very wet steam, require no lubricating oil and behave quite satisfactorily with the lubrication provided by the condensed water.
