TRIBOLOGY
The science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion, including the study of lubrication, friction and wear. Tribological wear is wear that occurs as a result of relative motion at the surface.

GAS-OIL-RATIO (GOR)
The gas volume flow rate, relative to the oil volume flow rate, both converted to volumes at standard pressure and temperature.
|
STATIC FRICTION
The force just sufficient to initiate relative motion between two bodies under load. The value of the static friction at the instant relative motion begins is termed break-away friction.

VISCOSITY INDEX (VI)
A commonly used measure of a fluid's change of viscosity with temperature. The higher the viscosity index, the smaller the relative change in viscosity with temperature.

HOLD-UP
