Abstract
Traction characteristics of eight fluids of various compositions are evaluated with a four-roller machine, in which rotational speeds of mating rollers are positively controlled. The fluids tested are paraffinic and naphthenic mineral oils, liquid paraffin, polyisobutylene, and synthetic branched hydrocarbons. When the coefficient of traction is determined as a function of slide/roll ratio all fluids show essentially similar behaviour. However, different compositions have a marked effect on the values of the coefficient. These values are found to show a reasonable correlation with the estimated viscosity of each fluid at the average Hertzian pressures in the contacts
