Scope
This AIR describes the current scientific and engineering principles of gas turbine lubricant performance testing per AS5780 and identifies gaps in our understanding of the technology to help the continuous improvement of this specification.
Rationale
Qualification of a turbine oil formulation to AS5780 is now recognized as an integral part of most aviation equipment manufacturer’s oil approval processes. The E-34 Committee identified the need to develop this document based on inputs, questions, and concerns from gas turbine lubricant customers, equipment manufacturers, military authorities, and civil aviation authorities. The intent is to provide a clear and concise reference which will help guide the direction of the committee’s efforts in refining AS5780.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
