Industrial lubricants

bright stock

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

A heavy residual lubricant stock with low pour point, used in finished blends to provide good bearing film strength, prevent scuffing, and reduce oil consumption. Usually identified by its viscosity, ...

brinelling

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

Permanent deformation of the bearing surfaces where the rollers (or balls) contact the races. Brinelling results from excessive load or impact on stationary bearings. It is a form of mechanical ...

boiling range

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

For a mixture of substances, such as a petroleum fraction, the temperature interval between the initial and final boiling points.

bomb oxidation

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

A test for the oxidation stability of a product obtained by sealing it in a closed container with oxygen under pressure. The drop in pressure of the oxygen is a measure of the amount of oxidation ...

boundary lubrication

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

Form of lubrication between two rubbing surfaces without development of a full-fluid lubricating film. Boundary lubrication can be made more effective by including additives in the lubricating oil ...

boiling point

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

The temperature at which a substance boils, or is converted into vapor by bubbles forming within the liquid; it varies with pressure.

blow-by

Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants

Passage of unburned fuel and combustion gases past the piston rings of internal combustion engines, resulting in fuel dilution and contamination of the crankcase oil.
