The fluid is the vector that transmits power, energy within an oleodynamic circuit. In addition to transmitting energy through the circuit, it also performs additional functions such as lubrication, protection and cooling of the surfaces. The classification of fluids used in hydraulic systems is coded in many regulatory references, different Standards. The most popular classification criterion divides them into the following families: - MINERAL OILS Commonly used oil deriving fluids. - FIRE RESISTANT FLUIDS Fluids with intrinsic characteristics of incombustibility or high flash point. - SYNTHETIC...

CONTAMINATION MANAGEMENT - CUMULATIVE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PARTICLES SIZE - ISO 4406 The level of contamination is defined by counting the number of particles of certain dimensions per unit of volume of fluid. Measurement is performed by Automatic Particle Counters (APC). Following the count, the contamination classes are determined, corresponding to the number of particles detected in the unit of fluid. The most common classification methods follow ISO 4406 and SAE AS 4059 (Aerospace Sector) regulations. NAS 1638 is still used although obsolete. ISO 4406:2017 Cleanliness Code System Microscope...
