Steam Oil

FN Pile and Sons recommend Steam oil from MORRIS LUBRICANTS: this meets the original lubrication requirements of STEAM ENGINES. Morris has been supplying steam oils for over 100 years for both locomotives and static engines. This wealth of experience is reflected in the Morris range of Steam Engine Oils: products formulated using the latest technology. The object of internal lubrication in a steam engine is to form a lubricating film between the rubbing surfaces and thus avoid metal to metal contact as far as possible and also to form an oil-seal in order to prevent leakage of steam past the valves, pistons and gland packings. Only by feeding the correct grade of high-quality cylinder oil, specially selected to suit the operating conditions of the. engine, applied in the correct manner, to the right place and in the right quantity, will the steam engine continue to operate at its highest efficiency and with the minimum cost of renewals and repairs.
