Aviation Lubricant Requirements

Item

Title
Aviation Lubricant Requirements
Description
A general treatise on the subject of aviation lubricant requirements with emphasis on the current need for more thermally and oxidatively stable lubricants resulting from increased severity in powerplant operation. Briefly discussed are practical standard lubricant test methods and equipment and the difficulties which result from indiscriminate tinkering with standard test procedures and equipment. Also presented is the philosophy of lubricant development based on using standard screening tests, forbidding arbitrary changes in test conditions to give desired test results, and emphasizing that the engine builder must be completely free to select the powerplant bill of material.
