GE Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Oil Recommendations GEK32568H

The successful operation of the gas turbine and its driven equipment is vitally dependent upon the lubrication system.  It is necessary for all factors contributing to correct lubrication to be present and for the entire system to be maintained in good order.  The life of the equipment depends upon a continuous supply of lubricant of proper quality, quantity, temperature, and pressure. This being the case, the life and quality of the lubricant are of prime importance to the user. 

As fluid monitoring and condition maintenance is required, Savant Labs offer test methods for turbine lubricants including viscosity, oxidation resistance, and wear testing listed under this specification.  The technical team at Savant Labs has a deep understanding of these tests. We can help you define a test slate to meet this recommendation and analyze the data. Contact us for more information or request a quote for your next turbine lubrication project.
