Grades & published data
Typical values from the product data sheet, each with its test method.
Overview
Compressor oil -VB is a compressor oil based on synthetic base oil for screw and reciprocating air compressors. Grades: VB- 22, VB- 32, VB- 46, VB- 68, VB- 100, VB- 150.
The specification table lists each grade separately, with the test method for every value, so grades can be compared directly before ordering.
Application
Rotary screw compressors, which usually run the lower viscosity grades.
Application
Piston compressors, which usually run the higher viscosity grades.
Feature

Follow the equipment manufacturer's viscosity recommendation at operating temperature, then compare the grades' published values in the specification table.
Next step
The range above is what we publish. Formulation to a customer brief is a route of its own, and a sample is the first stage of it.
