Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Lubricating oil
Heavy lubricating oil being poured onto a watch glass. Lubricating oil is a product of the refining of crude oil. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons that is heated to separate it into parts called fractions. The lighter hydrocarbon fractions boil off and leave the heavier fractions behind. Lubricating oil contains hydrocarbon chains with 20-50 carbon atoms, with heavy lubricating oil at the top end of this range with a high viscosity. Lubricating oil boils in the range 300-370 degrees Celsius, and is used to lubricate motor vehicles and industrial machines

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Science Photo Library, we witness the mesmerizing sight of heavy lubricating oil being poured onto a delicate watch glass. This image represents the fascinating process behind the production of lubricating oil, which is derived from refining crude oil. Crude oil, a mixture of hydrocarbons, undergoes heating to separate it into various fractions. As lighter hydrocarbon fractions evaporate, heavier ones are left behind. Lubricating oil falls within the range of hydrocarbon chains containing 20-50 carbon atoms and exhibits high viscosity, making it ideal for its intended purpose. With a boiling point between 300-370 degrees Celsius, lubricating oil plays an essential role in both motor vehicles and industrial machines by providing much-needed lubrication. Its viscous nature ensures smooth operation and minimizes frictional wear and tear. This vibrant photograph not only showcases the beauty of scientific research but also highlights our dependence on fossil fuels as an energy source. The vivid colors and intricate chemical components remind us of the complexity involved in producing such crucial substances for various industries. As we admire this stunning visual representation captured by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate the significant role that lubricating oils play in powering our modern world while acknowledging their origins in refined crude oil – a testament to human innovation and technological advancements.
