Relativity Of Acid Number For Hydraulic Fluids

Jason Ginsberg2020-03-16T07:18:31-04:00

TAN merely measures the corrosive acids present in the fluid, and will increase over time as an indication of the deterioration of the fluid. However, different lubricant technologies such as mineral oil-based or polyol-ester-based hydraulic fluids and different additive technologies result in different TAN values

Hydraulic Fluid Sampling Procedure And Particle Counting

Jason Ginsberg2021-09-13T19:09:09-04:00

For properties like acidity, viscosity and moisture it generally doesn’t matter where the sample is taken. However, when it comes to determining the cleanliness of a hydraulic fluid, it makes a big difference at what location the sample is taken.
