GRADE OIL [18 records]

Record 1 2022-06-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Black Products (Petroleum)
DEF

Engine oil which falls simultaneously into a low temperature SAE viscosity grade classification(number followed by the letter W) and a high temperature SAE viscosity number grade, provided that the two grade numbers are not identical or consecutive, with a difference of at least 15. [Definition standardized by ISO. ]

OBS

Examples: 5 W - 20; 10 W - 30 or 10 W - 40 (but not 10 W - 20); 20 W - 40 or 20 W - 50 (but not 20 W - 20, or 20 W -30).

OBS

The Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) has established four series of grade numbers, based on viscosity. Two of these series, one defined at low temperature and running from SAE 0 W(minimum viscosity) to SAE 25 W(maximum viscosity) and the other defined at high temperature and running from SAE 20 to SAE 50, are applied to engine oils. The other two series are applied to gear oils and do not form continuous series with the engine oil series. They run from SAE 70 W to SAE 85 W at low temperature and from SAE 90 to SAE 250 at 100 °C in an analogous manner.

OBS

multigrade engine oil: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Produits noirs (Pétrole)
DEF

Huile moteur correspondant à la fois à une désignation de viscosité SAE à basse température (numéro suivi de la lettre W) et à un numéro de viscosité SAE à haute température, à condition que ces deux numéros ne soient pas identiques ni consécutifs, l'écart entre les deux étant de 15 au minimum. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.]

OBS

Exemples : 5 W - 20; 10 W - 30 ou 10 W - 40 (mais pas 10 - 20); 20 W - 40 ou 20 W - 50 (mais pas 20 W - 20, ni 20 W - 30).

OBS

La Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) a établi quatre séries de numéros de classes basées sur la viscosité. Deux de ces séries de numéros s'appliquent aux huiles moteurs et se définissent comme suit : l'une basse température et allant de SAE 0 W (viscosité minimale) à SAE 25 W (viscosité maximale), l'autre à haute température et allant de SAE 20 à SAE 50. Les deux autres séries de numéros s'appliquent aux huiles pour engrenages et ne constituent pas de séries homogènes avec celles qui s'appliquent aux huiles moteur. Elles vont de SAE 70 W à SAE 85 W à basse température et de SAE 90 à SAE 250 à 100 °C de la même manière.

OBS

huile moteur multigrade : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

Subject field(s)
  • Black Products (Petroleum)
CONT

There are two general classes of fuel oil-distillates and residuals. The distillates are the substances that distil off from petroleum. The residuals are the remaining residues or blends of these residues with distillates. These two classes are further divided into grades based on the type of equipment in which they are used... There are two grades of distillate fuels and four grades of residual fuels. Grade No. 1 is a light distillate fuel oil used in vaporizing-type burners.... Grade No. 2 is a heavier distillate than Grade No. 1 and is used in atomizing-type burners for domestic and commercial heating.

CONT

The oversupplied oil market experienced during 1998 was transformed into a much tighter market in 1999, and crude oil prices rose from $10.75/bbl for the dated Brent marker crude in early January to $24.54/bbl at year end.

CONT

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Gas and Oil Heating
CONT

Domestic burners usually are confined to the use of oils ranging in grade from No. 1 to No. 4 and employ either one of two methods to prepare the fuel oil for combustion. These are atomization(spraying) and vaporisation(heating). Atomization or spraying is divided into three types, namely, high-pressure atomization, low-pressure atomization, and centrifugal atomization.... The third way in which oil is atomized is by use of centrifugal force. The oil is fed to a rapidly rotating cup(3, 450 rpm or faster). It then spreads throughout this cup in a fine film and flies of the outer edge at a high rate of speed in a very finely divided state. Burners that make use of such centrifugal force are of two types from the standpoint of their design : the horizontal rotary type and the vertical rotary type. High-speed motors are required by burners that use this type of atomization exclusively. With centrifugal atomizing burners there is no contact between oil and air until both have left the burner and entered the combustion chamber.

Pulvérisation par coupelle rotative. Ce système (...) consiste à amener le combustible au sommet d'un cône qui tourne à grande vitesse (5 000 tr/min) Par force centrifuge, la paroi se garnit d'un film qui s'échappe par toute la circonférence de base du cône. La pulvérisation résulte de la cassure du film et les gouttelettes sont entraînées par l'air primaire provenant d'un ventilateur solidaire de la coupelle.
