Is ISO 32 the same as AW32?

Is ISO 32 the same as AW32?

ISO 32 is simply a viscosity range for industrial oils, normally used in hydraulics, it says nothing about any additives that may be present. AW 32 is required to contain anti wear agents, it may also contain other additives, but may be harmful in certain applications.

What does ISO 32 oil mean?

The hotter the temperature, the thinner the oil becomes and the colder the oil, the thicker. So, for example, a hydraulic system operating in a cold climate like Tasmania would run better with a lower viscosity grade of 32. The oil would be thinner and have less resistance to flow on start-up.

What is ISO 32 light hydraulic oil?

Protects hard-working hydraulic systems from the stress of high-pressure, high-load and heavy-duty operations. Remains fluid in cold temperatures for immediate cold-weather flow. Special anti-wear additives and rust inhibitors provide optimum protection to expensive equipment.

Is AW32 hydraulic oil non conductive?

The High Viscosity Index (HVI) products are for wide temperature application and have a typical dielectric strength of 35kV which makes them suitable for use as non conductive hydraulic fluids. HVI-32 and HVI-46 meet FMC Corporation recommendations for a high viscosity index hydraulic fluid.

What is the viscosity of ISO 32 hydraulic oil?

Hydraulic oil 32 specifications Density (Kg/L): 0.860. Viscosity (cSt at 40°C): 32.

What is HFV 32?

From the research I’ve done, HFV is a brand of ISO 32 oil, which can be bought anywhere. This stuff is literally just mineral oil and is roughly equivalent to SAE 20 compressor oil.

What weight oil is AW32?

AW32 is approximately a 10 weight oil with the additives ▪ AW46 is approximately a 15 weight oil with the additives ▪ AW68 is approximately a 20 weight oil with the additives AW –provides many of the advantages of premium hydraulic oil at a moderate price.
