243-03 - Hydraulic Fluids
Learning objectives
- Define hydraulic fluids
- Identify the three basic categories of hydraulic fluids
- Identify the most important factor to consider when selecting a hydraulic fluid for a specific hydraulic circuit
- Discuss the difference between mono-grades and multi-grades
- Describe the three major causes of hydraulic fluid contamination
Course overview
Hydraulic fluids are non-compressible fluids that help energy move through a hydraulic circuit to perform work through motion. Knowing the different types and characteristics of available hydraulic fluid is necessary to select the appropriate fluid for a specific hydraulic circuit. The Hydraulic Fluids training course identifies the three basic types of hydraulic fluids. It also explains what to consider when selecting the hydraulic fluid for a specific hydraulic circuit. This online course also covers hydraulic fluid contamination. This course is part of the Hydraulics training series.
