1. [Shop-talk] Hydraulic fluid question (score: 1)

I needed a couple gallons of hydraulic fluid for my new lift. The fluid spec'ed was "10 weight common hydraulic fluid (AW32 or AW46)". I asked a friend to pick some up for me as he was right near the

AW means "anti wear" 46 is the ISO viscosity rating (46 centistokes at 40C. What's a centi-stoke? who knows.) What you've got is fine. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com ___________________________

*Why that's one hundredth of a Stokes, o' course! A measure of viscosity, water has a stokes rating of about 1.000; that's why I always drink beer.* *Tony* ___________________________________________

Thanks for that info. Does that viscosity number factor like regular oil? In other words, higher number, thinner oil? My concern is more for the operation of the lift considering the range of tempera

ISO viscosity is an actual, directly meaningful number (viscosity in centistokes, (which despite my earlier quip, is a real unit of viscosity, well understood by tribologists), at a specified tempera

I posted a long article that I wrote many years back, but it's been embargoed the list manager because it's too long. Go to http://w3.uwyo.edu/~metal/faq.txt and look at item 33. Best, chris ________

Er, no, in both cases a higher number means a thicker oil (at a constant temperature). But "10 weight" covers a range of centistokes values, and apparently 46 (at 40C) is within range, so the oil yo

Thanks for the rather direct answer, and to all for telling me waaay more then I ever wanted to know about the topic! The more I googled, the more conflicting the info. Ain't the internet grand?! --
