Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If suitable for steam turbines
Turbine oils have distinct subheadings from reciprocating steam cylinder oils based on machinery type.
If repackaged for general industrial engines
General engine oils without steam-specific formulation shift to motor oil categories.
If blended with <70% petroleum content
Lower petroleum concentration classifies as other preparations not meeting basic constituent threshold.
