(materials)

A low-viscosity fluid used in operating a hydraulic mechanism.

Hydraulic Fluid

a fluid used in machines and mechanisms to transmit forces. Hydraulic fluids should have a high resistance to oxidation, low frothing, inertness with respect to materials in the components of hydraulic systems, a flat viscosity curve, a low freezing point, and a high flash point. The petrochemical industry produces over 20 kinds of oils that are used in hydraulic systems (see Table 1).

Certain industrial and motor oils are utilized in a number of cases as hydraulic fluids. The majority of hydraulic fluids contain antioxidants, antifoamants, and other additives.
