Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Gear MEP 150 is an extreme-pressure industrial gear oil recommended for various types of enclosed industrial gears (spur, helical, bevel and planetary) with circulation or splash lubrication systems operating at bulk oil temperatures up to 110°C. It is suitable for gear drives subjected to heavy loads and drives sensitive to sludge formation, as well as non-gear applications such as shaft couplings and heavily loaded plain bearings operating at slow speeds. Formulated at ISO VG 150, the oil provides high load-carrying capacity, good water separability, rust and corrosion protection, foam control and thermal stability, helping to protect gear teeth and bearings while extending component life and drain intervals. Grade 150 has a kinematic viscosity of 150 cSt at 40°C and 14.4 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 93, a flash point of 240°C and a pour point of -27°C. PETRONAS Gear MEP Series meets AGMA 9005-F16 AS, David Brown S1.53.101, DIN 51517 Part III, Fives Cincinnati Machine Gear, GM LS 2 EP Gear Oil, ISO 12925-1 CKC/CKD and U.S. Steel 224.

Applications

• PETRONAS Gear MEP Series are high-performance industrial gear oils, specially developed for various types of enclosed industrial gears operating under normal to heavy-duty conditions.
• Formulated with high-quality selected mineral base oils enhanced with advanced extreme-pressure, anti-wear, antioxidant, anti-rust and anti-foam additives.
• They provide excellent extreme-pressure and anti-wear protection, smooth operation of the gear drives, and up to 1.5x longer-lasting performance versus the minimum industrial gear-oil requirement.
• Recommended for various types of enclosed industrial gears (spur, helical, bevel, planetary) with circulation or splash lubrication systems operating at bulk oil temperatures up to 110°C.
• Also for gear drives subjected to heavy loads or prone to sludge formation, and for non-gear applications such as shaft couplings and heavily loaded plain bearings operating at slow speeds.

Performance & benefits

• Excellent extreme-pressure protection, giving long gear life in severely loaded gear drives.
• Excellent anti-wear protection, protecting equipment components from excessive wear and providing longer equipment life.
• Excellent thermal and oxidation stability, maintaining performance under high temperatures and pressure and enabling long oil-drain intervals.
• High resistance to sludging, for high cleanliness and sludge-free gear drives.
• High rust and corrosion protection, inhibiting the corrosion process that occurs in the presence of water and improving equipment life.
• High water separability, protecting gear drives from water-degenerative effects and maintaining system efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.
• High multi-metal compatibility, ensuring trouble-free performance with most metal alloys.
• High seal and elastomer compatibility, preventing oil leaks and contamination from seal erosion.

Standards & approvals

• AGMA 9005-F16 AS

  AGMA 9005-F16, antiscuff (AS) oils

  The antiscuff (AS) lubricant class of AGMA 9005-F16 — the current term for what earlier editions called "EP" (extreme-pressure) enclosed gear drive oils.

• David Brown S1.53.101

  David Brown S1.53.101 level — EP gear oil

  David Brown's specification for extreme-pressure gear oils in open and enclosed drives under heavy and shock loading. It overlaps DIN 51517-3 CLP and U.S. Steel 224.

• DIN 51517-3 CLP

  Industrial gear oil CLP — DIN 51517, part 3

  Part 3 of the German lubricating oil standard: class CLP, gear oils with extreme-pressure additives. It requires an FZG pass plus corrosion and ageing protection.

• GM LS-2

  GM lubrication standard for plant machinery

  General Motors’ standard for the lubricants used in the machinery of its plants — hydraulic, gear and turbine oils. It is not a specification for vehicle oils.

• ISO 12925-1 CKC

  Industrial gear lubricant - CKC — ISO 12925

  The international standard for enclosed gear drive lubricants; class CKC is the mineral oil with antioxidant, anticorrosion and antiwear additives, for moderate duty.

• ISO 12925-1 CKD

  Industrial gear lubricant CKD — ISO 12925

  Class CKD of ISO 12925-1: a gear oil with the same additive package as CKC but greater thermal stability, for gear units running hot.

• AIST/US Steel 224

  AIST 224 — EP gear oil for steel mills

  The AIST (Association for Iron & Steel Technology) requirement for non-leaded EP gear oils in steel plant equipment, carried over from the former U.S. Steel 224 specification.
