Oxidation and the Testing of Turbine Oils is written by Cyril A. Migdal and published by ASTM International. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0803134932 (ISBN 10) and 9780803134935 (ISBN 13).

This work presents papers from a December 2005 symposium held in Norfolk, Virginia, and sponsored by ASTM Committee D2 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants and its Subcommittees D02.09 on Oxidation and D02.C0 on Turbine Oils. Contributors include equipment manufacturers, end users, lubricant producers, lubricant additive suppliers, test equipment manufacturers, and standard test method developers. They share information on industry trends, evolving technologies, and changing equipment designs and operating conditions, with a focus on how these factors impact oxidation. Some topics covered include turbine oil performance limits, a new form of the rotating pressure vessel oxidation test, and degradation mechanisms leading to sludge and varnish in modern turbine oil formulations. B&w photos are included. There is no subject index. Migdal is affiliated with Chemtura Corporation.
