There are however, online services allowing buyers to compare transformer oil prices from various suppliers. \u00a0It is up to the buyer to research and choose a reliable wholesale distributor or retailer.<\/p>\n<p><i><\/i>If you have already purchased transformer oil that meets the correct specifications and quality standards, then it is time to think about oil storage<b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The practical way to store the oil is to use clean and dry, steel air tight vessels. \u00a0The tanks are usually coated with an oil resistant material inside. \u00a0The outside of the tanks should have anticorrosion and light reflecting coating. \u00a0The acceptable range of temperatures for storage of transformer oil is -40\u00ba\u0421 to +60\u00ba\u0421\/-40\u00baF to +140\u00baF.<\/p>\n<p>The vessels should be equipped with valves for filling and draining as well as a manhole for cleaning, inspection and repairs. \u00a0Breathing systems must be equipped with silica gel or zeolite cartridges that can be monitored by special monitoring devices.<\/p>\n<p>Three days after putting the oil into a storage tank, samples are normally taken for laboratory analysis. \u00a0Transformer oil in storage should be tested at least once a year for the following parameters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0flashpoint;<\/li>\n<li>dielectric strength at 90\u00baC\/194\u00baF;<\/li>\n<li>water extract reaction;<\/li>\n<li>acid neutralization number;<\/li>\n<li>particulate matter content in mircons; and<\/li>\n<li>free water and moisture content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is also recommended to test the dissipation factor at 90\u00ba\u0421\/194\u00baF at least once a year.<\/p>\n<p>Each time the oil is tested for quality and purity, the results must comply with the parameters of fresh transformer oil regardless of the length of storage. Otherwise, the oil must be purified and regenerated to restore the oil to its new and clean condition.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>GlobeCore<\/i><\/b> offers a line of oil purification units under the <em><strong>CMM <\/strong><\/em>classification.
