As the oil oxidizes, acidic byproducts are generated within the oil. As the oil's ability to resist oxidation drops, more of these byproducts are generated causing the AN to increase. A sharp increase in acid number can indicate that the oil is approaching the end of its useful life. Turbine oil generally has an AN of around 0.03 new, and in service should not exceed 0.2 The acid number for this sample is 0.01 which is well below alarm limits.

Changes in viscosity indicate improper servicing, dilution, contamination or lubricant breakdown in service. Test results are reported in centistokes (cSt) at 40 C. The viscosity result is acceptable for this lubricant. The result indicates it is within range for an ISO VG 32 lubricant.

A portion of the sampled oil is mixed with water. A steel test rod is placed in the mixture and is agitated by stirring. The test duration is 4 hours after which the steel rod is inspected for the presence of rust. A passing result is the absence of rust on the steel rod, This sample received a result of Pass - Clean indicating excellent rust preventing characteristics, RULER CEE) Date ranenott | tararote | caoanoto | _oaesioee9 Lab No Rateronca_| 700258 359200 591519 503257 The RULER accurately measures the remaining active antioxidants in the lubricant.

The RULER number represents the concentration of the antioxidants monitored relative to a new oil This sample tested at 42% Phenolics. This is an acceptable result and indicates a healthy active antioxidant additive package.

Water is considered to be the most destructive of contaminants causing accelerated oil degradation and corrosion to system components. Also, excessive water in large static reservoirs can lead to microbial growth. The presence of water can severely alter the load carrying capacity of a lubricant Industrial specifications set the warning limit for turbines at 0.1% or 1000 ppm. Water was measured at 50 ppm for this sample. This is considered an acceptable result.

By subjecting the sample to significant G-forces, we are able to extract insoluble contaminants that are much too small to be detected by normal particle counting. The amount of the agglomerated material is compared to a rating scale to derive the UC Value (1-8). When the UC Value exceeds 4, a marginal condition is noted. A UC value exceeding 6 is considered to be a oritical result.
