Description
Cylesstic is the trademark for a line of quality steam cylinder oils formulated to meet exacting lubrication requirements. The compounded grades also provide excellent protection against wear in worm gear drives and are recommended for steam engines operating on saturated or slightly superheated steam at either high or low pressures. Cylesstic lubricants are also recommended where condensate on cylinder walls is present. The non-compounded grade is the recommended oil for use with high-pressure superheated steam systems. Cylesstic steam cylinder oils are available in four viscosity grades. These grades conform to the International Standards Organization (ISO) viscosity classification system. Three grades; Cylesstic 460, 680, and 1000, are compounded with acidless tallow to provide lubrication under the wet conditions encountered with saturated steam. The fourth grade, Cylesstic 1500 is not compounded, but is formulated specifically for the dry, high-temperature operating conditions associated with super-heated steam.

ASTM D341 Viscosity Calculator
You may calculate the viscosity of the oil at various temperatures based on ASTM D341. This uses the two sets of calibration data that we already have in order to calculate the viscosity at any temperature. You may input multiple temperatures at once, seperated by comma. |
