Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the conventional tests for assessing the fire resistance of hydraulic fluids use relatively large amounts of fluid in relationship to quantities available from exploratory research programs. To alleviate this problem, four miniaturized tests were devised for evaluating fire resistance of aerospace fluids. These were intended to simulate the following normal-size tests: (1) flash point (Cleveland open cup), (2) hot manifold, (3) low pressure spray, and (4) high pressure spray. The microflash apparatus uses a spark plug and a heated aluminum cylinder. Three drops of fluid are applied at each temperature of the test. Results were somewhat higher than for full-scale equipment. Low pressure spray test employs an airless spray gun (rotating disk) with reservoir modified to hold a small volume of fluid. In the high pressure spray apparatus, gas pressure forces fluid from a small orifice in stainless steel tubing, and only 20 ml of fluid is used in each determination. The small-scale hot manifold test uses a 1/2-in. diameter stainless steel heater. These miniaturized tests require a total of 40-ml of fluid, as compared to about 2500 required for the corresponding full-scale tests. The small units are easy to operate, and repeatability is good.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydraulic fluids for use in coal mining applications must be fire-resistant. Fire-resistance is defined by the particular standardized testing methods being used. In Europe, the required fire-resistance testing procedures are specified in 7th Edition of The Luxembourg Report [1]. In this report, there are three acceptable spray testing procedures; 1.) the Community of Six spray test, 2.) the United Kingdom spray test and 3.) the "stabilized heat release spray test" (Buxton Test). Of these three tests, the Buxton Test offers the greatest and most reliable quantitative characterization of the fire-resistance properties of a hydraulic fluid. The results of investigations conducted to evaluate the experimental reproducibility of the Buxton Test are discussed in this report.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concern about the fire resistance of hydraulic fluids by the Air Force and the rest of the Department of Defense (DoD) dates back to the introduction of the mineral oil based hydraulic fluid, MIL-H-5606 [1], into aircraft hydraulic systems. This concern has led to the development of two fire resistant hydraulic fluids that can be directly substituted into aircraft hydraulic systems that were designed to use MIL-H-5606, i.e., MIL-H-83282 [2] and MIL-H-87257 [3], and a nonflammable hydraulic fluid, MTL-H-53119 [4], that can be used only in hydraulic systems that were designed for that fluid or in subsystems originally designed for MIL-H-5606, MIL-H-83282 or MIL-H-87257, for which re-design of the components and retrofit of the system with compatible seals, if required, would be cost effective. Another fire resistant hydraulic fluid was developed for use in commercial aircraft hydraulic systems, a phosphate ester based hydraulic fluid described by Society of Automotive Engineers document AS1241, Fire Resistant Phosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluid for Aircraft The fire resistant properties of these fire resistant and nonflammable hydraulic fluids are discussed and the flammability test methods are presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of mineral oil as a hydraulic fluid in industrial plants, installations and equipment may create a problem, if exposure of the fluid to sources of iginition are possible. Many industrial processes require the use of hydraulic fluids that afford better fire safety than achievable with mineral oils. In proposals to the governments of the member states of the European Union (EU) fire-resistant fluids intended for use in underground mines must conform the "Requirements and Tests Applicable to Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluids used for Power Transmission" (7th Luxembourg Report, adopted by the Safety and Health Commission, March 3rd 1994). The immediate stimulus for this work, which spans a period of 35 years, was the disastrous fire which occurred in 1956 at the Bois du Cazier mine at Marcinelle in Belgium, resulting in 267 fatalities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pumping system has been developed to evaluate the change in fire-resistance of hydraulic fluids as a function of operatingcycles. Thirteen fluids have been studied. Two syntheticfluids, a silicone and a phosphate ester, have shown definiteincreases in flammability, as measured by the spray-ignitiontest. Further work is required to determine if this increase inflammability can be correlated with a change in viscosity or someother physical measurement that can be made in the field. The`preconditioning' test using this pumping system has already beenincorporated into the Canadian Standard on Fire-ResistantHydraulic Fluids. It is recommended that the preconditioningtest be applied only to synthetic fluids, rather than all fluids, as at present.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tests were conducted on MIL-H-5606B, Esso 3158, Oronite 8515, and Dow Corning XF-1-0302 fluids contained in tubing at 3,000 psig and in simulated hydraulic reservoirs at 30 psig. U.S. .50-caliber armor-piercing incendiary ammunition was used against these fluids. Results of the tests show a significant reduction in both amount and duration of flame for each of the candidate fluids. The vulnerability of seven structural modifications of simulated hydraulic reservoirs containing MIL-H-5606B fluid were evaluated and compared with conventional aluminum reservoirs. Two of the configurations warrant further design optimization studies. These are (1) molded-laminated-rubber construction over aluminum, and (2) glass filament-wound construction with a sheet rubber stock overwrap.
