PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Regal® R&O oils are turbine oils designed to give
outstanding performance in steam and hydroelectric
turbines.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Regal R&O oils deliver value through:
• Long lubricant life provided by excellent thermal
and oxidation stability.
• Excellent demulsibility helps ensure good
lubricant film strength and minimal wear through
quick water separation.
• Excellent air release in turbine oil reservoir
systems by the foam inhibitor hastening the release
of foam and entrained air.
• Rust protection of metal surfaces due to the use
of an effective rust and corrosion inhibitor.
• Environmental benefits — All grades are
ashless. This facilitates reclaiming and recycling of
the used oils.
FEATURES
Regal R&O oils provide rust protection, oxidation
inhibition, and foam suppression.
They pass the Fresh Water Corrosion Test (ASTM D665,
Procedure A), and the severe Synthetic Sea Water Rust
Test (ASTM D665, Procedure B).
The thermal and oxidation stability of these lubricants,
due to their high level of refinement, has been further
enhanced by their unique additive systems. The high
thermal and oxidation stability help protect against
oxidation deposit formation or the generation of acidic
material.
Regal R&O oils have very good demulsibility
characteristics allowing quick release of moisture.
Regal R&O oils minimize entrained air which otherwise
could result in low lubricant film strength between
moving parts and pump cavitation.

APPLICATIONS
Regal® R&O oils ISO 32 through ISO 150 are
recommended for use in most electric motor bearings,
air compressors, gears, hydroelectric turbines, steam
turbines, marine turbines, and non-heavy duty
hydraulic systems where OEM recommends R&O type
oils (for heavy duty hydraulic systems, customers
should consider Rando® HD oils).
These products can also be used as a general purpose
machine oil for shop use when R&O type oil is needed
or is recommended. The multifunctional characteristics
of Regal R&O type oils may allow them to replace other
special application lubricants, which can result in
reduced inventory and operating cost.

Do not use Regal R&O in large and high temperature
gas turbines. GST® Oils are recommended for these
gas turbines.
Do not use Regal R&O 32, 46, or 68 in high pressure
systems in the vicinity of flames, sparks and hot
surfaces. Use only in well ventilated areas. Keep
container closed.
Do not use in breathing air apparatus or medical
equipment.
Note that finished lubricants may affect the adherence
of applied protective coatings (such as paint). If this
product is used where coating applications are
performed, the coating manufacturer should be
consulted regarding adequate surface preparation.
Regal R&O oils manufactured after June 26, 2009 now
have foam inhibitors to improve filtration through 3-6
micron filters in turbine equipment. Regal R&O oils
manufactured before June 26, 2009 need to use filters
with porosity greater than 12-15 microns to avoid
filtering out the foam inhibitors.
