What is ISO 6743?

ISO 6743-4:2015 establishes the detailed classification of fluids of Family H (Hydraulic systems) which belong to class L (Lubricants, industrial oils, and related products). It is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 6743‑99.

Which oils are classified for service by the ISO 6743-4 standard?

The ISO 6743-4 classification of mineral oils (i.e. petroleum) hydraulic fluids:

  • ISO-L-HH. Mineral lubricants without corrosion inhibitors.
  • ISO-L-HL. HH lubricants with oxidation reduction and anticorrosive additives.
  • ISO-L-HM. HL lubricants with wear reducing additives.
  • ISO-L-HR.
  • ISO-L-HV.
  • ISO-L-HG.
  • ISO-L-HS.
  • HL.

What is the ISO designation used to identify an anhydrous lubricant?

ISO – 75.120 – Hydraulic fluids.

How are hydraulic fluid classified?

The main difference between synthetic and mineral based hydraulic oil. The majority of oils which are produced are either mineral based or synthetic. Mineral based hydraulic oils are derived from crude oil fractions whereas synthetic hydraulic oils are made using chemically produced base fluids.

What does ISO VG 32 mean?

NYBASE ISO VG 32 is a mid-range viscosity speciality base oil for Group I replacement, with high Viscosity Index (VI), excellent low temperature and solvency properties. Recommended for the formulation of industrial, automotive and metal working fluids.

What are the 4 types of hydraulic fluid?

They are available as oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil (invert) emulsions and water glycol blends. Water-based fluids can provide suitable lubrication characteristics but need to be monitored closely to avoid problems.

What is ISO hydraulic oil?

General Information. AW Hydraulic Oil is premium grade oil designed for use in all hydraulic systems where anti-wear hydraulic oil is recommended.

What viscosity is ISO 32?

ISO 3448 Viscosity class

ISO 3448 Viscosity class Kinematic viscosity at 40°C [mm2/s = cSt]
ISO VG 10 10 11.0
ISO VG 15 15 16.5
ISO VG 22 22 24.2
ISO VG 32 32 35.2

Is AW 32 the same as ISO 32 hydraulic fluid?

AW 32 hydraulic fluids have an International Standards Viscosity Grade or ISO VG of 32. This is the thickness of the fluid tested at 40 degrees Celsius. ISO VG 32 has good cold weather flow capabilities and its thickness is equivalent to a SAE 10 weight lubricant.

What does ISO stand for in oil?

International Standards Organization Viscosity Grade
ISO VG stands for “International Standards Organization Viscosity Grade” and is reported in numbers ranging from 2 all the way up to 1500. This number is critical because a lubricant’s viscosity is the single most important factor when selecting the right oil for your machinery.

What is the difference between ISO and SAE oil?

There is no significant difference between ISO (International Standards Organisation) or SAE (Society of Automotive Engineering). Both organisations provide test standards to allow the ability to reliably compare published filter ratings among manufacturers.

Which is thicker ISO 32 or ISO 46?

32 is thinner, No. 46 is medium and No. 68 is thicker. Generally speaking, if the temperature is low in winter, use #32 & #46 hydraulic oil with a lower viscosity, and use #68 hydraulic oil with a higher viscosity in summer.

What is ISO 32 oil?

Hydraulic 32 is part of Crown Oil’s range of premium-grade mineral-based hydraulic oils with good anti-wear properties providing protection in the most demanding of systems while still meeting ISO standards for hydraulic oil. This hydraulic fluid is rust, corrosion and oxidation inhibited.

What does ISO 32 mean?

The numbers indicate to the nearest whole number, the mid points of their corresponding brackets. For example, ISO viscosity grade 32 relates to the viscosity bracket 28.8 to 35.2 mm2/s, the mid point of which is 32.0 mm2/s.
