	Hydraulic fluid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hydraulic fluids are a large group of liquids made of many kinds of chemicals.
		The three most common types of hydraulic fluids are mineral oil, organophosphate ester, and polyalphaolefin.
		Brake fluid is a subtype of hydraulic fluid with high boiling point and low freezing point.

	Hydraulic machinery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this type of machine, hydraulic fluid is pumped to a high pressure and transmitted throughout the machine to various actuators.
		Pressurized fluid is controlled by the operator with a control valve and distributed through hoses and tubes.
		The fluid then goes through a hose to the main valve where it is returned to the reservoir, or, if the main valve is engaged, routed to a hydraulic cylinder.

	Hydraulic Fluid Changes - Part 3. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Hydraulic fluid is the single most important part of the hydraulic system as it goes everywhere and operates all the valves.
		The importance of good, clean hydraulic fluid of the correct type and its regular change can never be stressed often enough, as hydraulic systems work to very close tolerances, and the valves are made to very high standards.
		Hydraulic units such as height correctors may still develop leaks or other faults as a result of the damage they sustained hut at least you can be sure that you have done everything possible to remove all traces of the original contaminant.

	Recycling of Military Hydraulic Fluid
		The approved methodology of recycling hydraulic fluids, developed jointly by the Army and industry, involves the removing of contaminants from the fluids and revitalizing fluid additives.
		The second phase of the hydraulic oil recycling effort involved identifying and/or developing commercial technology that would satisfactorily remove the contaminants from the military hydraulic fluid, without altering the physical and chemical properties of the reconditioned fluid.
		Once commercial units were identified and/or developed that successfully cleaned-up the used fluid during laboratory testing, they were employed in a six month field demonstration to assess both the performance of the processing units themselves as well as monitor the performance of the hydraulic systems on the vehicles using the restored fluid.

	Hydraulic Fluid Changes - Part 1. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The tendency of all oils is to increase in viscosity with lowering of temperature, causing sluggish fluid flow, and decreasing in viscosity with higher temperatures increasing the possibility of fluid leaking past seals, and causing wear.
		However, hydraulic fluid which appears clean to the naked eye may be contaminated to the point that it is unfit for use.
		The early fluid -- LHS 2 -- is a synthetic fluid.

	ATSDR - Public Health Statement: Hydraulic Fluid
		Hydraulic fluids are a very large class of materials that are used in machines and equipment to transfer pressure from one point to another.
		Hydraulic fluids are also used in many machines like tractors and other farm equipment, forklift trucks, bulldozers, and other construction equipment, and airplanes.
		Hydraulic fluids themselves cannot be measured in blood, urine, or feces, but certain chemicals in them can be measured.

	Hydraulic fluid decompression
		The ratio of a fluid's decrease in volume as a result of increase in pressure is given by its bulk modulus of elasticity.
		The bulk modulus for hydrocarbon-based hydraulic fluids is approximately 250,000 PSI, (17,240 bar) which results in a volume change of around 0.4% per 1,000 PSI (70 bar).
		Decompression is an inherent problem in hydraulic press applications, which have large volume cylinders operating at high pressures (a garbage compactor is effectively a press).

	Advice for darkening hydraulic fluid
		Two of the most common sources of extreme temperatures in a hydraulic system are; a hot spot caused from an external heat source in close proximity to the lube system, or the implosion of entrained bubbles as the bubbles flow from the reservoir into higher pressure zones like the pumps or valves.
		In regards to the darkening hydraulic fluid it seems like there has been excesive heat build up and the darkening of oil is the result of fine carbon silt in the oil.
		Hydraulic valves turning goldish in color could be a sign of varnishing, despite the oil analysis indicating no problems with the lubricant.

	Hydraulic systems and fluid selection
		Hydraulic systems can be found today in a wide variety of applications, from small assembly processes to integrated steel and paper mill applications.
		The purpose of the hydraulic reservoir is to hold a volume of fluid, transfer heat from the system, allow solid contaminants to settle and facilitate the release of air and moisture from the fluid.
		Hydraulic valves are made up of poppets or spools and can be actuated by means of pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, manual or mechanical means.

	Duke Hydraulic Fluid - What is it? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Duke hydraulic fluid situation that appears to be all over the news these days is a frightful situation for the nearly 4000 patient who are affected.
		In this particular case, hydraulic fluid was used in the hospital's elevator, drained while the elevator was being serviced, and mistakenly used to “clean” surgical tools at Raleigh-Durham area hospitals last year, putting several thousand people at risk of severe infection and many other injuries.
		The Duke hydraulic fluid situation was only discovered when medical staff began complaining of tools feeling too “slick.” Since tools are “greased” to a certain extent for surgery, this was not outlandishly alarming to staff but it was these complaints that lead them to find the frightening truth behind the over-oiled instruments--hydraulic fluid.

	Recycling of Military Hydraulic Fluid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Field investigations have shown that the most common reason for used hydraulic fluid being drained from vehicles and discarded is because it has become contaminated to such a degree that damage to the hydraulic system could result.
		The only means available for determining when used fluid had been sufficiently processed was to collect and analyze samples for water content and particle count or to simply process the fluid for an extended period of time to ensure all contaminants were removed.
		Recycling hydraulic fluid to specification performance means less new fluid must be kept in stock to meet fluid usage requirements.

	6-II-6 HYDRAULIC FLUID PURIFIER
		A hydraulic fluid purifier is a small, portable electrically powered ground support system designed to recondition hydraulic fluid to a "like new" condition that can then be successfully reused in military vehicles, aircraft and support equipment.
		Hydraulic fluid purification systems remove particulates, water, air and chlorinated solvent contaminants using 3-micron absolute filters, water adsorption filters, air desiccant filters, and a low vacuum, without altering the physical or chemical properties of the reconditioned fluid.
		The on-site recycling of hydraulic fluid with a certified hydraulic oil recycler greatly reduces the amount of oil that must be disposed of as a hazardous waste in accordance with RCRA, 40 CFR 260-266, 268, and 270.

		The Duke hydraulic fluid in the Duke Medical System hydraulic fluid cases is said to have come from an elevator in one of the hospitals.
		It was determined the elevator workers emptied the Duke Medical System hydraulic fluid into several empty detergent containers during a maintenance visit in September 2004, but it was the detergent company that later picked up the containers of used Duke hydraulic fluid and re-distributed them to the two hospitals.
		Duke officials have evaluated the Duke hydraulic fluid situation and assured that there is little chance this mistake would cause medical problems but the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have cited the hospital and the elevator company for a number of mistakes.

	Hydraulic Fluid Viscosity
		It doesn't matter how good the anti-wear, anti-oxidization or anti-corrosion properties of the fluid are, if the viscosity grade is not correctly matched to the operating temperature range of the hydraulic system, maximum component life will not be achieved.
		Automatic transmission fluid, multi-grade engine oil and anti-wear, high VI (AWH) hydraulic fluid are commonly used in hydraulic systems that experience a wide operating temperature range.
		When selecting a high VI fluid, the component manufacturer's minimum permissible viscosity value should be increased by 30% to compensate for possible loss of viscosity as a result of VI improver sheardown.

	Recycling of Military Hydraulic Fluid
		Used hydraulic fluid is drained from vehicles and discarded not because it has depleted its ability to perform but because it has become contaminated to such a degree that damage to the hydraulic system could result.
		Much of the used fluid processed during the field demonstration was adequately cleaned in less than three hours, but because filter efficiency decreases with the amount of fluid passed through the filter, a significant margin of error must be built into the processing time.
		When the fluid relative humidity level drops to a level that corresponds to less than 500 ppm water, an indicator light on the unit tells the operator that the fluid has been processed and the unit shuts off automatically.
