Abstract
Fire resistant hydraulic fluids are being specified for power transmis sion in increasing numbers of industrial processes and applications. T he development, testing, and field application of an advanced oil-in-w ater emulsion fire resistant hydraulic fluid is described. Results of laboratory and field testing show that the fluid is capable of replaci ng mineral oil in continuous casting steel plant hydraulic systems, wh ile still using standard hydraulic components, and without the need to downrate system operating parameters.
