INNIO Jenbacher approved Q8 Mahler GR8 as the first high performance 0.8% S-Ash gas engine oil for the use in INNIO Jenbacher 9-series gas engines. The approval is the result of a series of field trials and in-house tests.
Exposure to mists from metalworking fluids forms a potential risk to machine operators. The best way to avoid health problems is installing a risk and fluid management program and selecting safe and healthy products.
Inhalation of the mist generated by neat & soluble metalworking fluids can lead to respiratory diseases such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and EAA (extrinsic allergic alveolitis), also known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Employers must ensure that adequate measures are taken to reduce the level of operator exposure to mist.
Oxidation rating is one of the elements that influence oil drain interval. In this article we describe the different methods to test the oxidation rating of used gas engine oil samples.
European technology and expertise tailored for the Worldwide Industry. Technical support to improve the productivity of the lubricant in your applicationWorldwide supply and support, exports to customers in over 85 countries. Seeking distributors and agents with technical expertise.
Knowledge about thermal and physical properties of lubricants enables OEM’s to improve their equipment designs. Q8Oils has tested and measured the most important properties of some of its products. To support our partners we give them insight into this valuable information.
Three main market drivers continue to force a rapid change in the European heavy duty diesel (HDD) market. The continuous focus on efficiency, durability and emissions impacts future engine design. Engine oil technology as part of the engine design, is a key ingredient on the fuel saving menu.
The main circulation lubricant in industrial applications comes into contact with anti-rust fluids and sealants used to prevent leakages. Q8Oils has tested and analysed how these products affect lubricant anti-wear properties.
In order to understand what could happen if the system is not properly flushed before start-up and if excessive amounts of sealant are used, Q8Research has investigated this issue.
When adding a new lubricant to your installation, it is important to know whether this product is compatible with the currently used product. Testing lubricant compatibility goes further than appearance tests. Even more important is to test and maintain lubricant performance.
Hydraulic oils are somewhat compressible which can cause problems in hydraulic systems. Aspects like temperature changes and the presence of air bubbles in the hydraulic oil influence compressibility which can lead to uncontrolled decompression and other problems related to compressibility.
For many decades Q8Oils has been developing and manufacturing lubricants for all possible applications. We combine our general market insights in a wide series of sectors with extensive expertise in developing specialized lubrication solutions.
