Symposium on Oxidation and the Testing of Turbine Oils
December 5, 2005 - Marriott Norfolk, VA

ASTM International D02 Committee (Fuels and Lubricants), is organizing on December 5th, 2005, the Symposium focused on the Newest Trends of Turbine oils Testing methods.
With this conference we bring together OEM’s, end users, lubricant producers, lubricant additive manufacturers, standard test method developers and implementers in a forum to discuss industry trends with a focus on the need for new and improved oxidation testing of turbine and other industrial oils.

An exclusive learning event bringing the following speakers and companies together in a 1-day Symposium with a truly global character:

  • Oxidation Fundamentals and its Application to Turbine Oil Testing - V. Gatto, B. Moehle, T.W. Cobb, E.R. Schneller - Albemarle Corporation
  • Modern Turbine Oil Oxidation Performance Limits – Meeting And Measuring Them. A Shell Perspective; Dr P.W.R. Smith - Shell Global Solutions
  • Physical, Chemical and Performance Changes in Turbines Oils from Oxidation - B.Thompson & G. Livingstone Analysts, Inc.- M. Okazaki, Chevron Corporation
  • Review of Degradation Mechanisms Leading to Sludge and Varnish in Modern Turbine Oil Formulations – J. Fitch & S. Gebarin, Noria Corporation,
