Hydraulics fluids Flashcards
what is hydrodynamics?
The study of liquids in motion
Pascal laws
- Pressure on a confined uncompressible liquids transmitted equally in all direction
- Neither shape nor the volume of a container affects the pressure.
Viscosity
Resistance to flow
Chemical Stability
It is the liquid’s ability to resist oxidation and deterioration for long periods
Flash Point
Flash point is the temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor in sufficient quantity to ignite momentarily or flash when a flame is applied
Fire Point
Fire point is the temperature at which a substance gives off vapor in sufficient quantity to ignite and continue to burn when exposed to a spark or flame
The three principal categories of hydraulic fluids a
- Mineral based fluids - MIL-H-5606, MIL-PRF-5606H).
- Synthetic Hydrocarbon based fluids - MIL-PRF-87257B
- Phosphate ester based fluids - Skydrol®, Exxon Hy
Systems that use mineral based fluids id (MIL-H-56) may be flushed whit?
with Naphtha, Varsol, or Stoddard solvent.mineral-base hydraulic fluid
Nitrile,Buna-N, Neoprene, Fluorosilicone seals and hoses may be used with what type of hydraulic fluid?
Mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids and
Synthetic Hydrocarbon based fluids

yes
Mineral-based hydraulic fluids and Synthetic Hydrocarbon based fluids color ?
red
pros and cons of Synthetic Hydrocarbon based fluids - MIL-PRF-87257B
-Pros : fire-resistant
-Cons: high viscosity at low temperature. It is generally
limited to –40
MIL-H-87257 is a development of -83282 to improve ?
low temperature viscosity and It is compatible with all of the cleaners and materials used with 5606 fluid
Phosphate Ester based fluids are used in most commercial transport category aircraft and are extremely fire-resist, name the main suppliers?
Eastman (Skydrol) and ExxonMobil
what types of seals and hoses may be used with Phosphate ester based fluids ?
Butyl Rubber, Ethylene Propylene or Teflon
