ASTM D4378-03
Historical Standard: ASTM D4378-03 Standard Practice for In-Service Monitoring of Mineral Turbine Oils for Steam and Gas Turbines
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D4378
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers the requirements for the effective monitoring of mineral turbine oils in service in steam and gas turbines, as individual or combined cycle turbines, used for power generation. This practice includes sampling and testing schedules to validate the condition of the lubricant through its life cycle and by ensuring required improvements to bring the present condition of the lubricant within the acceptable targets.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
