 Exceeding OEM Specifications
New Shell Turbo T oils are available in ISO grades 32, 46, 68
& 100are suitable for application in the following areas:
The performance of new Shell Turbo T oils meets or exceeds a number
of major steam and gas turbine manufacturer lubricant specifications including:

• General Electric GEK 28143A

Shell Turbo T Oils….Making Good
Oils Even Better
Shell Turbo T oils have long been
regarded by the power generation
industry as one of the finest turbine oils
available. Building on this reputation,
Shell Turbo T oils have been reformulated
to offer improved performance capable
of meeting the demands of the most
modern non-geared steam turbine
Applications
New Shell Turbo T oils are available in ISO grades 32, 46, 68
& 100 are suitable for application in the following areas:
• Non-geared industrial steam turbines
• Non-geared light duty gas turbines
• Hydroelectric turbine lubrication
• Compressor applications
• Applications where strong control over rust and oxidation is required
systems, light duty gas turbines and
compressors. New Shell Turbo T oils are
formulated from high quality
hydrotreated base oils and a
combination of zinc-free additives that
provide excellent oxidative stability,
protection against rust and corrosion,
low foaming and excellent demulsibility.
• Westinghouse 21 T0591
• Deutsche Industrie Norm DIN 51515
• ISO 8086
• ABB HTGD 90117
• Solar ES 9-224R
• Alstom Power NBA P5001
• Siemens TLV 9013 04
• Mitsubishi Heavy Industries E00-87182
Performance Features
❏ Consistent Lubrication
Provides an essential load bearing, hydrodynamic lubricant film to keep metal surfaces
apart and prevent equipment wear. To achieve optimum performance the viscosity
grades consistently meet OEM requirements.
❏ Strong Control of Oxidation
The use of inherently oxidatively stable base oils together with effective inhibitor
additives provides high resistance to oxidative degradation. The result is extended oil
life, minimising the formation of corrosive acids, deposits and sludge.
❏ High Resistance to Foaming and Rapid Air Release
The oils are formulated with a non-silicone anti-foam additive which generally controls
foam formation and rapidly collapses any foam formed. This feature coupled with fast
air-release from the lubricant reduces the possibility of problems such pump cavitation,
breakdown of hydrodynamic lubrication, premature oil oxidation and excessive wear.

❏ Positive Water-shedding properties

Benefits Robust demulsibility control such that excess water, common-place in steam
turbines, can be drained easily from the lubrication system, minimising corrosion
< Long oil service life under severe operating conditions and premature wear.

❏ Excellent Rust & Corrosion Protection

< Long term protection against rust & corrosion of your hardware
Prevents the formation of rust and guards against onset of corrosion
ensuring protection for equipment following exposure to
< Minimal foaming and a very fast air release to avoid pump cavitation or lubricant
humidity or water during operation and during shut-downs.
