i - -V VJ Monsanto Monsanto Company 6670 East Flotilla Street , Los Angeles, California 80022 (213) RAymond 3-2492 June n, 1969 Mr. Gary Kemple Lever Brothers-*^ 6300 Shula City of Commerce, ' California Dear Gary, - Below are listed results of the analysis of the 4/14/69 sample submitted to our laboratories. 4/14/69 Sample New Fluid Spec Viscosity at 100F Acid # Moisture 42.0 cs 2.45 30 ppm 52 max. less than .01 less than 50 ppm This sample indicates that viscosity and moisture are in good condition but that acid number is extremely high. This high acid number in the absence of a high moisture content (which normally produces an acid build up), indicates that the fluid has undergone significant degradation. If this sample is representative of the Therminol charge in the system, another sample should be submitted immediately so that we may determine what, if any, action should be taken. As I mentioned to you, it would be better to drain the system and recover the Therminol (for about half price) than to risk severe corrosion in the system. After another sample Is submitted, we should discuss what would be the best path to take here. Please call me if you have questions regarding' these results or if I may be of assistance in any way. . Very sincerely. J. H. Davidson Technical Representative Functional Fluids C. L. Bradford DSW 435059 STLCOPCB4088120
