MIL-PRF-17331J – Moderate Service Steam Turbine and Gear Lubricating Oil
We perform lubricants testing by specification MIL-PRF-17331, which covers lubricating oil used in turbines, gears, air compressors, and hydraulic equipment. This military specification covers a single classification of steam turbine and gear lubricating oil for use in main and auxiliary turbines and gears, air compressors, and certain hydraulic equipment, as well as for general mechanical lubrication. This lubricating oil is identified by Military Symbol 2190 TEP and NATO Code No. O-250.
