Lubezz 2 Flashcards
A thin layer of lubricant between 2 surfaces enables one surface to [BLANK] the other
Slide over
By separating 2 surfaces slightly, a lubricant helps reduce
Wear
A lubricant can equalize pressures in various places along 2 contacting surfaces, thereby reducing
Mechanical shock
An air cooler radiates heat into the air, usually through its
Metal fins
By forming a slight scab where it is exposed to the air grease can
Seal out dirt and other contaminants
The compounds in crude oil are classified as
Hydrocarbons
The most important property of lubricating oil is its
Viscosity
The viscosity of an industrial lubricating oil is measured in
Saybolt Universal Seconds
Grease is used in applications where liquid lubricant would leak out or where frequent lubrication is not
Possible
The “dropping point” of a grease is the same as its
Melting point
Antifoam agents are necessary additives for oils used in
Hydraulic systems
Oil additives that react with metal surfaces to form a sulfide or chloride coating are called
Extreme-pressure additives
Demulsifiers are useful oil additives when you need to
Remove water from the oil in a system
Lubrication by means of a film consisting of impurities, oxides, and air molecules is called [BLANK] lubrication
Boundary
In full-film lubrication, the moving surfaces are
Completely separated from each other
Of the following oil blends, the one that undergoes the least change in viscosity as the temperature changes consists of [BLANK] % naphthene-base oil and [BLANK] % paraffin-base oil
10; 90
The highest quality of circulating oil is [BLANK] oil
Turbine
One of the most important additive in hydraulic oil is an [BLANK] additive
Antifoam
Spindle oils are premium-grade lubricants with a
Low viscosity
Animal fat is sometimes included in [BLANK] oil to help it stick to the surfaces being lubricated
