Esco Temp
Excessive heat is extremely harmful to oil and e For every 10°C (18°F) increase in temperature, the oxidation rate of oil doubles, cutting the usable life of the lubricant in half. Increased operating temperatures also deplete additives, decrease the viscosity causing loss of film strength, and increase the rate of corrosion, varnish and sludge formation.
The ESCO TEMP magnetic strip includes an eleven-point temperature label which gives an accurate reading for temperatures from 100°F - 220°F. The various temperature points are colored green, but turn black when the stated temperature is reached.
