Mobil Oil Introduces

Six Hydraulic Fluids —Literature Available

Mobil Oil Corporation has intro- duced six hydraulic fluids for gener- al industrial use. They all meet requirements of system and pump builders for resistance to heat, wear, water, and rust.

The Mobil Hydraulic Oil Series consists of six ISO (International

Standards Organization) viscosity grades. Four are anti-wear (AW) oils in viscosities of 32, 46, 68, and 100.

The other two are mild extreme pressure (EP) oils in viscosities of 150 and 220. All have typical viscos- ity indexes (VI) of 95.

The four AW fluids are recom- mended for use in most hydraulic systems with gear, vane, radial pis- ton, and axial piston pumps where pressures and speeds require an anti-wear product. The two EP oils are recommended for hydraulic sys- tems which require heavier oils and for lubrication of moderately loaded enclosed gear sets and bearings lu- bricated by circulation or bath.

Applications include machine tool hydraulic systems, materials form- ing and handling equipment, presses, cutters and grinders, and underground mining equipment.

These Mobil Hydraulic Oil Series are formulated from high-quality, chemically stable, petroleum base stocks. Additives give them addi- tional protection against heat, ab- normal component wear, the effects of water contamination and rust.

Mobil also markets two other lines of hydraulic fluids: the SHC

Series synthetic-based fluids, and the DTE 20 Series oils, the top-of- the-line petroleum-based products.

Both have demonstrated the ability to perform well under extended changeout periods and to resist de- posit formation and oxidation.

New Submarine Base

Built In The Arctic

By Soviet Union

A vast submarine base for a new type of sub built to operate under the polar ice cap has been built in the Arctic by the Soviet Union. The first pictures of it, taken by a com- mercial satellite, have been shown on Swedish television. The pictures showed a dozen piers several hundred yards long that make up the submarine port at Gremikha, 200 miles east of Murmansk.

Thomas Ries, an expert at the

Norwegian Institue of International

Affairs, said the base was the home of the Soviet Union's mammoth nu- clear Typhoon-class submarines, built for service in Arctic waters.

Defense analysts said that in the event of war, the titanium-hulled 30,000-ton Typhoons would hide and fire their missiles from under- neath the polar ice only a short dis- tance from the new base.
