16、treme importance inthe lubrication of gas compressors.It is believed to be asubstantial factor in boundary lubrication,where the suddenrelease of dissolved gas may cause cavitation erosion,or evencollapse of the fluid film.In hydraulic and seal oils,gasdissolved at high pressure can cause excessive foaming onrelease of the pressure.In aviation oils and fuels,the differencein pressure between take-off and cruise altitude can causefoaming out of the storage vessels and interrupt flow to thepumps.6
