1-Oils are liquid whereas grease are semi solid.
2- Grease are not affected by extreme temperatures, so they are commonly used in tools, machines and equipments. Oil, in room temperature, is liquid when subjected to extremely low temperatures, and tends to evaporate when subjected to extremely high temperatures. Oil is used by people in cooking, personal grooming, lubrication and so much more.
3-The viscosity of oil is low as compared to that of grease
4-Oil is extracted from animal fat, plant or crude oils. Grease is made up by mixing oil and thickener agent.
What else can I help you with?
What additive is added to lubricating oil to help the oil absorb water?
An additive called a demulsifier is used in lubricating oil to help separate and remove water from the oil. Demulsifiers work by breaking down the emulsions that form between the water and the oil, allowing the water to separate out more easily.
What causes oxidation of lubricating oil?
Oxidation of lubricating oil is primarily caused by exposure to oxygen in the air, high temperatures, and contaminants such as water and metal particles. These factors can lead to the formation of harmful byproducts that can degrade the oil and reduce its lubricating properties. Regular oil analysis and maintenance can help monitor and prevent oxidation in lubricating oil.
What helps grease and oil mix with water so they can be rinsed away?
Surfactants are compounds that help grease and oil mix with water by reducing the surface tension between the two substances. This allows for more effective rinsing and cleaning as the surfactants surround the grease/oil particles and enable them to be carried away by water.
The fact that it reacts with oil and grease makes for a good cleaner?
base
Why is oil so slippery?
Oil is slippery because it has a low viscosity, meaning it flows easily between surfaces and layers. This reduces friction between surfaces, allowing objects to slide past each other with less resistance. Additionally, the smooth molecules in oil create a lubricating layer that further reduces friction between surfaces.
What is the Difference between grades of lubricating oil?
Lubricating Oil Is A Thick Fatty Oil (Especially One To Be Used For Lubricating Factory Machinery)
Whats the Difference between refrigeration oil and engine oil?
it's lubricating properties
Main difference between hydraulic and lubricating oil?
engine oil is thick than hydraulic oil
What is the difference between the SAE 20w-50 and 20w-50 lubricating oil?
20w-50 indicates Synthetic-oil
What are the differences between plumbers grease and silicone grease, and which one is more suitable for lubricating plumbing fixtures?
Plumbers grease is typically made from petroleum-based products, while silicone grease is made from silicone oil. Silicone grease is more suitable for lubricating plumbing fixtures as it is more resistant to water and heat, making it longer-lasting and more effective in preventing leaks and corrosion.
What different types of lubricating oil are available?
Lubricant oils include vegetable oil, silicone, fluorocarbons, polyolefins, grease, graphite, tungsten oil, molybdenum and mineral oils. Lubricating oils can be purchased in liquid or dry versions depending on their intended application.
How does grease or oil affect the coefficient of friction?
Grease or oil reduces the coefficient of friction between surfaces by providing a lubricating layer that allows them to slide more easily over each other. This reduces frictional resistance and lowers the force required to move the surfaces.
Is lubricating oil volatile?
Lubricating oil is NOT volatile.
What does lubricating oil do?
Reduces friction between moving parts.
Why lubricating oil is used?
Lubricating oil is used to reduce friction between moving parts and to prevent damage due to excess heat. Lubricating oil also carries away sludge preventing the erosion of moving parts.
What is the difference between a oil filter and fuel filter?
One filters lubricating oil while the other filters fuel. The filtering media would be of a different type to filter out different contaminants
What is the difference between a diesel generator oil and a diesel engine oil?
What are we actually asking here? Lubricating oil? The generator should come with a note as to what lubricating oil it uses, and different diesel engines in cars and lorries require different grades of oil. Or are we asking about fuel? Generators can be run off Red or Agricultural diesel as there is no Road Fuel Duty to pay.
