Reolube Turbofluid 46SJ

Reolube Turbofluid 46SJ

Fire-Resistant EHC Fluid

ReolubeTurbofluid 46SJ is a high performance, fire-resistant hydraulic fluid designed for usein electrohydraulic governor control systems of steam turbines, including systems using fine toleranceservo valves. It is a triaryl phosphate based on a selected xylenol distillate, and is formulated to providegood oxidation stability. Physical properties such as air release foaming and demulsibility, are also carefully controlled within turbine manufacturers' specified limits.

ReolubeTurbofluid 46SJ is also recommended for use as a fire-resistant lubricant, for examplein steam and gas turbines. ReolubeTurbofluid 46XC meets and exceeds all major OEM requirement and is approved by FM Global against Standard 6930 for 'Less flammable hydraulic fluids'. It also meets the requirements of ISO Standard 12922 and ASTM 4293 for HFDR-type fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. The values given in the tables are typical and do not constitute specification limits.

Technical Advantages

The high level of safety needed in both thermal and nuclear power plants make Reolube® Turbofluids the products of choice for power generation applications. There are other types of synthetic fluids promoted as being fire resistant and are FM Global Standard 6930 approved. However, their ease of ignition is only slightly better than that of conventional non-flame retardant lubricants, and when ignited these fluids readily propagate flame. In contrast, phosphate ester type fluids are extremely difficult to ignite and if ignited the flame will self-extinguish. This performance feature makes phosphate ester type fluids the preferable choice for applications with high fire risk.
