The
lower viscosity limit is 2 cSt (gas oil at ambient
temperature). This limit ensures that there
is sufficient film strength for hydrodynamic support.
The
upper viscosity limit of 1750 cSt is determined by
the operating limit of the standard mechanical seals
used. At reduced speed and with alternative
mechanical seals, viscosities of up to 5000 cSt can
be accomodated.
