Description:

Petro-Canada’s TURBOFLOTM R&O Oils are high quality lubricants designed for use in steam and gas turbines, as well as the circulating oil systems of a wide range of industrial machinery.

TURBOFLO R&O Oils counteract rust and oxidation with blends of ultra pure Petro-Canada HT Severely Hydrocracked base oils and specially selected additives. These formulations deliver reliable performance and extended service life.

Compared to conventional R&O Oils, TURBOFLO R&O Oils offer:

• Long term resistance to oil breakdown caused by air and high temperatures

• Excellent rust and corrosion protection

• Excellent water separability

Features & Benefits:

• Extended resistance to oil breakdown caused by air and high temperatures

• Minimizes harmful sludge and varnish deposits, ensuring unrestricted lubricant flow and long component life

• Extends intervals between oil changes

• Reduces operating and maintenance costs

• Superior rust and corrosion protection

• Iron and other metal components protected against water damage

• Excellent water separability and hydrolytic stability

• Oil separates readily from water, without loss of performance additives

• Separated water meets environmental guidelines

• Reduces operating and maintenance costs

• Improved foam and air entrainment performance

• Ensures a lubricant film continues to protect metal surfaces

• Prevents overflowing of oil reservoirs

• Eliminates cavitation damage to circulating oil pumps

• Improves equipment reliability

Applications:

Petro-Canada TURBOFLO R&O Oils are designed to meet the demanding service requirements of steam and gas turbine applications. They also provide extended, corrosion-free lubrication of bearings and gears in a wide range of industrial machinery.

In addition, Premium R&O 77 meets Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) specification for turbine oils, 3-GP-357.

For turbine bearings operating above 260°C (500°F), or where a greatly extended lubricant life is desired, Petro-Canada TURBOFLO fluids are recommended..

Bearings

TURBOFLO R&O Oils are recommended for use in circulating oil systems and other bearing lubrication applications. The correct viscosity grades for various plain bearing rotation speeds and operating temperatures are shown below:
