[volt-nuts] Resistance Standard Oil - Plain Mineral Oil?

[Robert Atkinson]

Hi Joe,
You don't say were you are, but I guess the USA. Light mineral oil USP or  Liquid paraffin USP (different name, same thing) from your local Pharmacy is what you need. also see ebay items 260881466334, 260881466408 (no connection with or knowedge of the seller).If you need larger quantities try animal supply or food manufacture suppliers. 

Robert G8RPI.

Subject: [volt-nuts] Resistance Standard Oil - Plain Mineral Oil?
 
I have looked back over the archives about this and have found some
information but I am not really clear on whether or not local grocery or
drug store mineral oil is acceptable for my Leeds & Northrup 10 ohm standard
resistor.



I emailed Ohm-Labs (that I think maybe acquired Leeds & Northrup?) and they
suggested Drakeol 7 or Blandol.  However, I can't find a source for it.
They suggested Fisher Scientific or VWR but I can't find either brand listed
on their websites.  They do list 'light mineral oil'.



Any information or suggestions appreciated.



Joe
