Industrial lubricants
surfactant
Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants
Surface-active agent that reduces interfacial tension of a liquid. A surfactant used in a petroleum oil may increase the oil's affinity for metals and other materials.
polyolefin
Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants
A polymer derived by polymerization of relatively simple olefins. Polyethylene and polyisoprene are important polyolefins.
relief valve
Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants
A valve mechanism that assures system fluid flow when a preselected differential pressure across the filter element is exceeded; the valve allows all or part of the flow to bypass the filter element.
surface tension
Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants
The contractile surface force of a liquid by which it tends to assume a spherical form and to present the least possible surface. It is expressed in dynes/cm or ergs/cm2.
surface filtration
Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants
Filtration which primarily retains contaminant on the influent surface.
surface filter media
Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants
Porous materials which primarily retain contaminants on the influent face, performing the actual process of filtration.
surface fatigue wear
Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants
The formation of surface or subsurface cracks and fatigue crack propagation. It results from cyclic loading of a surface.
