Oil volume requirements for sleeve/tilt pad type bearings
The sleeve/tilt pad type bearing is a pressurized lubrication system where oil is flowed into the bearing.
The required system flow rate is dependent upon the bearing size and shaft speed.

5.5.2 Lubricating-oil requirements

Oil quality requirements
Use a high-quality turbine oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors with rated viscosity shown below at 38°C |
100°F.
Oil requirements based on temperature
For the majority of operating conditions, bearing temperatures run between 49°C | 120°F and 82°C | 180°F,
and you can use an oil of ISO viscosity grade 68 at 38°C | 100°F. If temperatures exceed 82°C | 180°F, refer to
the table for temperature requirements.
