Oil mist

Oil mist refers to oil droplets suspended in the air in the size range 1~10 µm. Oil mist refers to oil droplets suspended in the air in the size range 1~10 µm. Oil mist may form when high pressure fuel oil, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, or other oil is sprayed through a narrow crack, or when leaked oil connects with a high temperature surface, vaporizes, and comes in contact with low air temperature. This happens while the fluids interact with the moving parts during machining.
