Abstract

The use of lubricants in conditions of radiation, as in nuclear power installation, poses certain problems for the stability of the lubricant. These include (1) changes in viscosity, (2) evolution of gases, (3) in air, accelerated oxidation, (4) secondary effects such as separation of additives and demulsibility deterioration. In this paper are reported the results of experiments on changes in kinematic viscosity and acid base number of mineral base oils and a synthetic oil.
