Dear Hank;
Here is the TKERMINGL FH-2 analysis result for Voas Bakeries, El Monte, California:
PROPERTY
Acid Number Moisture ViBcosity 100*F.
SAMPLE
0. 04 MgKOH/gm
48 ppm 94 centipoises
The viscosity appears rather high. If this is representative of what is in the system it may lead to start-up pumping difficulties should the system be shut down for any extended period. Can we get addi tional sample for check? In sampling, it is possible that insufficient fluid was allowed to drain before drawing the sample In oilier words, the sample may be representative of fluid in a "dead leg" of the system.
As you know, new fluid has a 75 centipoise max. & I Q0*F. viscosity so tills represents a considerable increase.
I'll look for another sample from this customer so we can verify this result.
Best regards.
Cordially,
j*
