Hydraulic Oil Basics
Think
Clean for Longer Fluid Life
Just
implementing small measures to improve
oil cleanliness can have a dramatic
impact on equipment life. For example,
according to the Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE), a 70 percent reduction
in engine wear was obtained by filtering
engine oil at l5 microns instead of 40
microns. In an industrial application,
reducing particles larger than 10
microns from 1,000 per liter to 100 per
liter can effectively increase the
operating life of a machine to over live
times the normal operating life span.
Water
is another critical contaminant. It is a
primary lubricant degrader. Its
destructive force is augmented when it
is combined with iron or copper in
systems. Water causes breakdowns due to
oxidation and precipitation of oil
additives. In addition, an oil's
viscosity can be changed which can cause
increased wear and protective failure.
This can also lead to corrosion and
fatigue. Even very small amounts of
water can have a serious impact on an
operating system.
