Some Experiences with the Use of Castor Oil as a Dielectric.

Vernon A. Nieberlein

Abstract

Experiences with the use of large volumes of castor oil for dielectric purposes are presented. These experiences include corrosion of brass parts by the oil, drying of the oil, and the determination of water in the two-phase system of castor oil in contact with mineral oil. Detailed design of a packed column for the purpose of drying castor oil is also presented. (Author)
