*Note: These oil immersion standards are mentioned for purposes of reference only. Some Canadian and European test standards are not necessarily represented here as complete equivalents to the US Standards but have been referenced due to some similarities in requirements. Refer to the individual standards for detailed test procedures and any comparability evaluations.

The type of industrial environment and other factors such as the duration of oil exposure and quantity of the liquid will all attribute to the specific level of oil protection needed. Other parameters such as the surrounding ambient, temperature of the oil and the cable itself will also play a role in determining the cables ability to withstand this type of chemical exposure. In general the greater the ability of the cable jacket to resist the possible devastating effects of oil, the longer it will perform uninterrupted in the application. Certain industries (Grinding, Machine tools, painting etc.) will require the highest degree of oil resistance available while other applications (office buildings, residential dwellings, etc.) will only need a minimal amount of this type of protection. The Lapp Group provides a large product offering of cables in a wide array of different constructions that will the meet varying degrees of oil resistance required for your application.
