Hydraulic System
Hydraulic Pump types
• Gear Pump: Axial Piston Pump
• Vane Pump Radial Piston Pump
Hydraulic Oil Selection
`
❖Hydraulic Oils must be evaluated on 2 Parameters:
1. Physical Parameter
2. Performance Parameter
Properties of Hydraulic Oil:
• Viscosity & Viscosity Index
• Pour Point
• Resistance to Oxidation( anti oxidation)
• Flash Point
• Demulsibility
• Anti Foam & Air releasing Property
• Anti Rust & Anti Corrosion Properties
• Anti Wear
Viscosity & Viscosity Index
• Viscosity rating is a measure of the oil's resistance to flow or thickness, and is
the single most important characteristic of hydraulic oil.
• The viscosity index (VI) is an arbitrary, unit-less measure of a fluids change
in viscosity relative to temperature change.
Pour Point
• pour point is the lowest temperature at which the fuel can flow and below
which the fuel tends to freeze or ceases to flow.
Resistance to Oxidation
It is the property of fluid to prevent oxidation while operation
Flash Point
• The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can
form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to
burn when the source of ignition is removed.
Demulsibility
• Demulsibility is the ability to release water. This is important when the
equipment is operating in humid climates or in a plant atmosphere that is wet or
humid.
Anti Foam & Air releasing Property
• Anti Foam: It is the property by which oil prevent the formation of foam in it.
• Air release property is defined as the number of minutes needed
to release the air dispersed in the oil.
Anti Rust & Anti Corrosion Property
• It is defined as the property of lubricant which prevent to be rusted or corroded
while exposure to moisture or oxides.
Anti wear
• Anti wear is the property which is prevent wear in metallic part of machinery
during operation.

Turbine Oil Oxidation Stability Test (TOST)
ASTM D 943
Objective :
• To estimate the oxidation stability of Turbine oil
Test Illustration :
• 300 ml of oil ,60 ml of water and 225 mm of copper coil is placed in a piece of
glassware and heated to 95 deg C.
• Air is admitted at 3 liters /min in the test cell .
• Oil sample is taken initially at 500 hrs ,then taken for every 168 hrs for testing
TAN value
• Time taken by oil to reach TAN value of 2 is reported .
TOST Apparatus
Test Accessories :
• Aluminium Block
• Thermometer
• 4 Oxidation tubes
• 6 Oxygen flow meters
Test Parameters :
• Temperature – Up to 95 deg C
• Oxygen supply to each cell is adjustable
Enhanced Oil Life
TOST ( Turbine Oil Stability Test )
• Oxidation creates a build-up of acids in the system. These acids cause
corrosion of metal surfaces and the build-up of sludge in the oil, which
can plug filters.
• Gulf Harmony ZF Plus is formulated with Group II base oils and special
antioxidants that effectively prevent this problem
Industry Standard for

Benefits of having Better TOST life
• Deterioration of oil with time is limited.
• Viscosity variation due to oxidation is reduce.
• Mechanical efficiency of the pump is maintained over the period of use.
Demulsibility and Water separating characteristics
• In hydraulic fluid, the ingress of moisture in the system cannot be prevented,
and therefore, the oils must be capable of separating out from water quickly.
• This property is assessed by the ASTM D-1401 test.
• Good oils should be able to separate out from water in 10–30 min.
Conventional Hydraulic Oil Gulf Harmony
AW plus Series
Effects of Poor Demulsibility
• Promotes corrosion of metal parts.
• Premature Wear of Pump and other equipment parts.
• Microbial Growth, deterioration of lubricant.
• Encourage oxidation of lubricant.
• Degrade filter performance.
Condition Monitoring & Cleanliness of Hydraulic Oil
Condition Monitoring: It basically consists to check
the quality of oil which is in operation or service.
This can be done by testing the oil Sample over
the period of time for their viscosity ,oxidation
and other parameters ,if any impurities is find
can be replaced with fresh oil.
Cleanliness & NAS Value of Hydraulic Oil
Cleanliness of Hydraulic Oil:
Basically cleanliness is defined as the amount of contaminate in the oil. If the
contaminates are less oil is clean and vice versa. It is measured over the NAS value
of the oil.
NAS stands for 'National Aerospace Standard of America'. It is the standard
for oil cleanliness which indicates the number of microscopic particles of different
size say 2-5, 5-15, 15-25, 25-50, 50-100 and above 100 micron present in 100
ml oil sample.
