1.1This specification covers mineral oils used in hydraulic systems, where the performance requirements demand fluids with one of the following characteristics:
1.1.1A refined base oil (Class HH),
1.1.2A refined mineral base oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors (Class HL), and
1.1.3A refined mineral base oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors plus antiwear characteristics (Class HM).
1.2This specification defines the requirements of mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids that are compatible with most existing machinery components when there is adequate maintenance.
1.3This specification defines only new lubricating oils before they are installed in the hydraulic system.
1.4This specification defines specific types of hydraulic oils. It does not include all hydraulic oils. Some oils that are not included may be satisfactory for certain hydraulic applications. Certain equipment or conditions of use may permit or require a wider or narrower range of characteristics than those described herein.
1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5.1Exception-In X1.3.9 on Wear Protection, the values of pump pressure are in MPa, and the psi follows in brackets as a reference point immediately recognized by a large part of the industry.
1.6The following safety hazard caveat pertains to the test methods referenced in this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitation prior to use.
