Compatibility of Silicon Oil to petroleum if mixed from barrier fluid
Compatibility of Silicon Oil to petroleum if mixed from barrier fluid
(OP)
Hi,
I would seek an advise as I have MSDS of pumping liquid of diesel additive.
In general industry, we have the barrier fluid of silicon oil pressure transmitter to monitor the system.
I like to know how safe or compatible the silicon oil since it is used if any leakage and mixed with diesel additive.

To a ChE, the glass is always full - 1/2 air and 1/2 water.

Thanks, any insight to better explain this silicon oil are having compatible chemical properties ?
Appreciate
Thanks

Since they don't mix they will work fine as a barrier fluid.

Manufacturer is also has little knowledge on the additive since this fluid is just additive. And the application of the silicon oil is very wide in the instruments . The question is if there is any reaction if silicon oil mixed together. This about small amount like 30 ml

in this particular situation when the diesel fuel additive may come into contact with the barrier fluid some carry over might occur. that may well be a unwanted situation because it may impart the lubricity of the dieselfuel whereto the additive is added.
i suggest the manufacturer of the fluid additive should be contacted to find out how their take is on eventual mixing of a silicone fluid with the additive.
