Sovereign 460 Cylinder Oil

SOVEREIGN 460

STRAIGHT STEAM CYLINDER OILS

Description

Sovereign Straight Steam Cylinder Oils are refined to give film strength at very high temperatures, providing excellent lubrication where needed to protect bores and valves. These grades are noncompounded, have superior resistance to oxidation and have low deposit forming characteristics under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. They also possess strong demulsification characteristics and therefore separate quickly and cleanly from water.

Features

• Non-Compounded |
• Non-Staining |
• Safe on paintwork and brasses |
• Low deposit forming characteristics |
• Excellent oxidation resistance |
• Excellent water separability |

Applications

The Sovereign range is recommended for all steam engines utilising wet or dry steam, and as a boiler or process feed in preference over compounded products where the steam is being recovered.

Sovereign 460 has exceptional water separability properties and this grade is recommended in lightly loaded engines when steam condensation needs to be recovered. In engines where high temperature superheated steam over 550°F (288°C) is used, the more viscous

Sovereign 1000 oil is recommended.

Performance Levels

Sovereign Steam Cylinder Oils meet the requirements of British Rail, for locomotives running on their lines, schedule number MT276.
