This specification covers one type
and grade of water-displacing, preservative lubricating oil
Replacement for VV-L-800 |
Lubricating oil, general purpose,
preservative (water-displacing, low temperature)
|
MIL-PRF-32033 is intended for lubrication and
protecting against corrosion of certain small arms and automatic
weapons and whenever a general purpose, water-displacing,
low-temperature lubricating oil is required.
This oil becomes very viscous at low temperatures so that its use at
temperatures below -40°C is limited by a number of machine design
factors and should be proved for any specific item application by test
before adoption. The availability of this material in gas-pressurized
containers will prove to be beneficial for use in areas difficult to
preserve by existing procedures. This preservative oil should not be
used to protect the fuel system and combustion chamber of engines
which are preserved in accordance with standard procedures. This
material contains a carboxylic acid which could react with certain
metals present in the fuel system, forming soaps which could
contribute to fuel filter plugging. |
