For higher viscosities use thefollowing factors:

RI = 4.10 VK.SU = 4.635 VK.E = .132 VK.

iscosities of lubricating oils have generally been quotedn one or other of the following terms depending on thenstrument used for the viscosity determination.

inematic Viscosity in centiStokes (VK. cSt)

edwood 1 Viscosity in seconds (RI")

aybolt Universal Viscosity in seconds (SUS")

ngler Viscosity in degrees (E)

A move to the use of centiStokes is well established but, formany years, it will be necessary to convert back and forthbetween the various units. The international standard unit for

viscosity is mm2/sec being numerically identical to centiStokes.

For most application purposes in industry where appreciabletolerances in viscosity limits are normal, the following table

will serve for direct conversion of viscosities expressed in oneform of measurement to viscosities in another form, providedalways such conversions or comparisons have reference toidentical temperature conditions.

Storage and Handling of LubricantsStoring LubricantsPackages containing lubricants should, whenever possible,be stored under cover where they will not be exposed to theaction of the weather.

Small packages such as tins should always be kept in coveredstorage, as should any package, whatever its size, once it hasbeen opened and its contents partially used. When the outsidestorage of unopened drums is unavoidable, certain simpleprecautions must be observed.

The drums should preferably be stored on their sides withbungs at 3 oclock and9 oclock and wooden dunnage or runners should be used tokeep them clear of the ground and to prevent rusting of theundersides. They should never be stacked directly on a surfacecontaining clinker, which is particularly corrosive to metal.The drums at each end of a stack must be securely wedged toprevent movement. Regular inspection should be carried outwith a view to the detection of leaks and to make sure that

identification markings remain clear and legible.

If, for any reason, drums have to be stored on their ends, theyshould be raised off the ground and stored upside down (i.e.with the bungs at the bottom). Failing this, they should betilted so that rain water cannot collect round and submergethe bungs. Water contamination is undesirable, whatever thegrade of lubricant, and it is not always realised that moisturecan enter a drum through what appears to be a perfectlysound bung.

A drum standing in the open is subjected to the heat of theday and, of course, cools down again at night. This results inexpansion and contraction of the contents with the effect thatthe air in the space above the oil level is subjected, duringthe day, to slightly higher than atmospheric pressure and,

at night, to slight vacuum. These changes in pressure maybe sufficiently great to cause a pumping action, known asbreathing, in which air is forced out the drum during the dayand drawn into it at night. If, therefore, the bungs throughwhich this breathing takes place are surrounded by water,some of this water may be sucked into the drum and, in thecourse of time, quite considerable quantities may accumulate.

Once the seals have been broken and packages have beenopened, there is always a danger that, unless the packagesare kept properly closed when not in use, impurities such asdust, sand and fibre may enter them. Such contaminants,eventually finding their way into machinery, can causedamage or abrasion or, by blocking oilways, can result in acomplete breakdown due to lack of lubrication.

An oil drum, or other package, should never be openedby cutting a large hole in it or by completely removing oneend, since, even if the hole is kept covered by, for example,a wooden or metal lid, the chances of contamination aregreatly increased. Similarly, it is a bad practice to dip an opencontainer into the oil since, not only does this allow dust toenter, but the outside of the dipper itself may be dirty. Drumsof oil should, therefore, be placed on their sides on woodencradles of convenient height and the oil dispensed by meansof a tap under which a drip tray is placed. Alternatively, adrum may be stood on its end and the oil withdrawn bymeans of a hand pump, the pump intake being inserted intothe large bung-hole.

When oil is stored in bulk it is probable that water orcondensation will accumulate and fine dust find its way intothe tanks with the result that, eventually, a layer of sludge-likematerial builds up at the bottom of the tanks and leads, intime, to contamination of the oil. Consequently, it is advisableto have storage tanks fitted with dished or sloping bottoms

provided with drain cocks, which will enable dregs to bedrawn off periodically. Where practicable, bulk storage tanksshould periodically be cleaned out.

Insofar as greases are concerned, the drums must, of necessity,have a large opening and, to avoid as far as possible theentry of dirt and water, it is important that the lid or covershould always be replaced firmly and securely as soon asrequirements have been taken.

Extremes of temperature are not good for lubricants. Theyshould not be stored in any unduly warm place; equally, itis not wise to leave them for long periods in conditions ofextreme cold.

Handling LubricantsThe benefits of good, clean storage can be largely nullified ifa lubricant becomes contaminated in transit from the store tothe machines. The containers used for transporting lubricantson a site and for the storage of small working quantities mustbe kept clean and should be provided with lids to prevent theentry of dust and dirt. They should be washed periodically withgasoline, care being taken to mop and dry them before usingthem again.

Similarly, funnels and other pieces of apparatus must alwaysbe kept scrupulously clean, rags and wipers being used forthis purpose. Cotton waste or woollen rags should not beused as they tend to leave behind fibres which will eventuallyfind their way into machinery and impair the flow of oil.

It is advisable to have separate, clearly marked containers ofeach grade of oil or grease so the contamination of one withanother does not take place.

Used and dirty oil should be put into special containers andstored in separate, clearly labelled receptacles unit disposedof. Every precaution must be taken to see that used lubricantsare not allowed to contaminate fresh oils and greases.

In general, cleanliness precautions are even more importantwith grease than with oil. There is always the chance thatimpurities in oil may sink to the bottom of the tank or containerout of harms way; with grease this cannot happen and anygrit or other contaminant which gets into the grease is bound

to find its way into lubricators and machinery sooner or later.

Grease is more susceptible than oil to the effects oftemperature and temperature cyclings. High temperature orprolonged exposure to even moderately high temperatures(e.g., tropical sunshine) may cause oil to separate out with theresult that the grease loses some of its lubricating properties.Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) and certain types of grease canbe made liquid by heating and, on cooling, will regain theirformer condition; but these are exceptions and most greaseswill be ruined if treated in this way. Never, therefore, heat agrease to make it fluid.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The lubrication of machinery should be supervised by aresponsible person and should be made a routine procedure.For instance, when a machine requires oil-can applicationsdaily, it should become routine to do this job each morningbefore commencing to use the machine. Where greaselubrication is called for weekly, this should be done, for

instance, first thing Monday morning or last thing beforeshutting down for the weekend.

Each operator should know which grades of lubricant arerecommended for the equipment in his/her charge andsupplies of the correct lubricants and the handling equipmentshould be readily available to him.

As lubricants are dispensed, the quantities should bemeasured and a record maintained. Store room recordsshould show the quantities issued and the records should bekept for each machine or unit. By this means, regular checkscan be made on consumptions and any marked changesnoted. These should be investigated at once.

Increased consumption is quite often the first sign that amachine is in need of repair, or that its lubricating systemrequires adjustments; on the other hand, it may mean over-lubrication by the operator.

Personal HygieneShell lubricants are quite safe to use provided ordinary care istaken to minimise skin contamination and to avoid breathingoil mist or vapours.

However, prolonged improper use can cause dermatitis orother skin conditions or even, where heavy contaminationoccurs over many years, skin cancer.

Those at risk are people who use oils every day over periodsof months or years, not those who work with oils only veryoccasionally. The risks can be avoidedby carrying out thefollowing simple health precautions.

For advice contact a Poisons Information Centre(Phone: Australia 13 11 26, New Zealand 0800 764 766) or a Doctor (at once).

Special oils and compoundsThe types of oil which have been associated overseas with skindisorders appear to be those which have been lightly refinedand which contain relatively more polynuclear aromaticcompounds. Oils of this type are used in rubber processing.Particular care should be taken in these cases.

When working regularly with mineral oils follow thesesimple rules:

1.REDUCE skin contamination by mineral oils to the minimumand avoid breathing their mists or vapours.

2. PROTECT the skin by using suitable clothing and barriercreams.

3.CLEAN the skin thoroughly if contaminated with oil.4.CARE for the skin properly.5.WEAR clean intact clothes.

Avoiding contact with mineral oilsContact with mineral oils should be kept to a minimum byusing effective splash guards and correct work methods.Good maintenance should be practised so as to avoidoil-soaked floors or benches.

Where cutting oils are used, these should be changed atregular intervals to minimise contamination with abrasivemetal particles or bacteria. To keep circulating oil as freeas possible of abrasive particles, filter and sumps should beregularly inspected and cleaned out.

Minimise mist and vapour generation. If this cannot bedone, use proper ventilation to keep the breathing zoneconcentration of oil mist below the recommended maximumconcentration in air of 5mg per cubic metre of air.

Personal protectionTo minimise skin contamination by oils, wear protective glovesand aprons and suitable outer overalls. Where soluble oilconcentrates are used, wear goggles or face visors.

Protective clothing should be cleaned at regular intervals toremove oil. It is most importantto avoid wearing oil-soakedclothing, and hands should be cleaned with disposable wipeswhich should not be kept in overall or trouser pockets after use.

Gloves can become contaminated on the inside and whenworn again they bring the skin into close and repeated contactwith oil. A system of regular and frequent changing andcleaning of all protective clothing is the best safeguard.

Where contamination with mineral oils occurs regularly at work,for example when using soluble cutting oils with high-speedmachinery, it is necessary to give more rigorous attention toadequate laundering and regular changes of clothing andunderclothing. To avoid soiling of clean clothing, contaminatedclothing should be stored separately from street clothing.

Cleansing the skinOil should not be left on the skin for any prolonged period oftime, particularly if mineral oils are used every day at work.Skin contaminated with oil should be cleaned with mild soapor suitable hand cleansers at regular intervals, and particularlyat the end of a working day.

Strong soaps and detergents, and abrasive skin cleansersshould be avoided as these themselves can cause skinirritation.

Solvents such as petrol, kerosene, trichloroethane and similarfluidsshould not be used for cleaning oil off the skin.

Barrier and restorative creamsThe natural oils in the skin which form a protective barrierare often removed by the regular washing needed in industry.The natural protective barrier can be replaced to a certainextent by using a good barrier cream before work and a goodhydrophilic skin cream containing lanoline or vegetable oilsafter finally washing the hands at the end of the work period.

Care of the skinWhere any sign of irritation or rash appears on the skin,medical attention should be sought at the earliest opportunity.
