This book provides the basics of lubricants and their applications. Divided into 10 chapters this book gives an introduction to lubricant technology for users new or unfamiliar with the field. The book covers all classes of lubricants including base oils (both mineral and synthetic), followed by the description of chemical additives and their evaluation. Major industrial oils such as turbine, hydraulic, compressor, metal working fluids and gear oils and automotive oils for various engines are covered. A chapter on synthetic and environmentally friendly lubricants is also included as these emerging technologies that are gaining importance and are required in critical applications. Finally lubricant blending technology, storage, re–refining and condition monitoring of lubricant in equipment is discussed.
