Pneurop Oxidation Test

The stringent requirements covering oxidation stability are defined by the test method DIN 51352, Part 2, known as the Pneurop Oxidation Test (POT). This test simulates the oxidizing effects of high temperature, intimate exposure to air, and the presence of iron oxide, which acts as catalyst - all factors highly conducive to the chemical breakdown of oil, and the consequent formation of deposits that can lead to fire and explosion. 

Rotary-screw compressor mineral oils oxidation resistance is assessed in a modified Pneurop oxidation test using iron naphthenate catalyst at 120°C (250°F)...
