Abstract

Defines general requirements for lubrication systems, oil-type shaft-sealing systems, dry gas face-type shaft-sealing systems and control oil systems for general- or special purpose applications. General purpose applications are limited to lubrication systems. These systems can serve equipment such as compressors, gears, pumps and drivers.
