Special oils:
Rotary vane pump oil K8
The rotary vane pump oil K8 is a special oil designed for pumping acid
vapors. The oil is very hygroscopic and has a limited capacity for acids.
With decreasing pH, the anticorrosive effect decreases as well, and it is
necessary to change the oil at appropriate intervals. When the pump will
stand still for prolonged periods (i.e., for several days), the oil must be
drained and the pump must be filled with mineral oil.
Synthetic oil (perfluoropolyether oil, e.g., Fomblin
®
*)
Synthetic oils have an excellent chemical resistance and are certified
for pumping pure oxygen. Therefore these oils are excellent for handling
strong oxidants, e.g., halogens, nitrogen oxides, etc.
Attention: As perfluoropolyether oils mixed with mineral oils result in an
emulsion, pumps used with these oils must be absolutely free of any
residues of mineral oils. To accomplish this, you must completely disas-
semble and diligently clean the pump unit.

Attention if using special oils: Due to a different viscosity / density com-
pared to the standard oil, pumps filled with special oil may not achieve
the specified ultimate pressure, or the pumps may not start reliably at
temperatures below 54°F (12°C).
