Modern Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluids for Industrial Use
Abstract
A NUMBER of major industrial fires which were fed in part by the petroleum oils used in the hydraulic systems have accelerated the trend towards the use of fire‐resistant fluids in systems located where a fire hazard exists and wherever heat or flame are in proximity to high pressure hydraulic equipment, a fractured pipe line or faulty fitting can result in the hydraulic oil being ejected considerable distances into open furnaces, melting pots, welding torches, etc. It is for all such cases where a true fire hazard exists that the fire‐resistant fluids are now in demand.
