(oxidation thickens oil and leaves a sludge); good refining and how it affects production of hydraulic oil - the three separate refining processes. oxidation stability tests - small supply tanks, high pressure, etc. container handling equipment is stressed - how oils reflect this. evaluating wear on gears, pumps, etc. contamination with water and air, foaming corrosive properties; solid contaminents from dirty environments - filtration; Thames Flood Barrier footage; list of companies
