GOST 9972-2020 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 9972-2020 — Масла нефтяные турбинные с присадками. Технические условия. (English: Petroleum turbine oils with additives — Specifications). The standard establishes technical requirements, classification, and test/quality criteria for mineral turbine oils formulated with additive packages (grades such as Тп‑22, Тп‑30, Тп‑46 etc.).

Abstract

Specifies composition, permitted physical and chemical properties, test methods and acceptance criteria for petroleum turbine oils with additives intended for lubrication and cooling of steam, gas and hydraulic turbines, turbo‑compressors and related industrial rotating equipment. Includes safety, packaging and marking requirements and allows formulation by mixing base oils and approved additive packages to meet defined grade limits.

Scope

Applies to mineral (petroleum) turbine oils formulated with performance additives (anti‑oxidants, corrosion inhibitors, demulsifiers, anti‑foams, etc.) intended for lubrication/cooling of turbines and related rotating machines. Defines product grades, allowable compositional limits (including sulfur/ash considerations), physical and chemical acceptance parameters, test methods and storage/handling requirements; it is intended for manufacturers, quality laboratories and procurement specifications within member states.

Key topics and requirements

• Grade definitions and classification of turbine oils (examples: Тп‑22, Тп‑30, Тп‑46) and corresponding performance envelopes.
• Physical and chemical limits: viscosity at 40 °C, acid number, pour point, flash point, ash/soot residues after oxidation, water separation (demulsibility), foaming characteristics.
• Requirements on sulfur content and ash when oils are produced from sour/sulfidic crudes or when additives affect these parameters (see normative notes and amendments).
• Specified test methods and reference to established test standards for measuring viscosity, oxidation stability, acid number, foaming and demulsibility.
• Safety, storage, packaging, marking and transport precautions for flammable lubricant liquids.

Typical use and users

Used by turbine oil manufacturers and blenders, power generation companies, industrial maintenance and procurement teams, oil testing laboratories, and regulatory/inspection bodies across member states adopting the interstate standard. Typical applications include lubrication of steam and gas turbines, turbo‑compressors and hydraulic control systems where formulated turbine oils are specified.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: An interstate technical standard (GOST 9972-2020) that sets specifications, test requirements and safety/handling rules for petroleum turbine oils containing additive packages.

Q: What does it cover?

A: Product grades and classification, compositional and performance limits (viscosity, acidity, oxidation residue, pour/flash points, demulsibility, foaming), test methods and packaging/marking and storage requirements for turbine oils.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Oil manufacturers/blenders, power generation and industrial maintenance teams, procurement/specification writers, and analytical laboratories performing quality control and compliance testing.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current and in force. The 2020 edition (implemented 1 July 2021) replaced the earlier GOST 9972‑74; several amendments/corrections have been published (noted in national information indices). Users should check for the latest amendments or national supplements when applying the standard.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It belongs to the family of lubricant and industrial oil standards within ICS 75.100 and is associated with other GOSTs and regional technical regulations governing lubricants, base oils and test methods. It is not a numbered series document but replaces the prior national GOST for turbine oils.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Turbine oil; petroleum oil; additives; lubricant specifications; R&O; demulsifier; viscosity; oxidation stability; GOST 9972-2020.
