Chevron Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW 46
Benefits:
Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oils AW deliver value through: Hydraulic system efficiency -- High performance formula improves hydraulic response time, increases operating temperature range and can improve production, as well as the potential for lowering energy cost.1 Premium performance -- Ashless formulation provides excellent wear protection, rust and corrosion protection, hydrolytic stability, water separability, foam inhibition, and filterability. Long oil life -- Outstanding ability of the synthetic base stock to withstand oxidation at high operating temperatures results in maximum service life for the oil. Low toxicity -- Inherently biodegradable2 and has very low acute aquatic toxicity2 to both fish and invertebrates based on tests of water accommodated fractions. Ashless formulation facilitates conventional recycling programs. Excellent wear protection at startup -- Minimum change in viscosity over wide operating temperatures due to high viscosity index. Multiviscosity performance minimizes the need to change viscosity grades for seasonal changes. Excellent low temperature pumpability -- Specifically developed to ensure good low temperature fluidity for low temperature operations as low as -40°C (-40°F) for ISO 32 grade, and -30°C (-22°F) for ISO 46 and 68 grades. Zinc-free/Ashless --Suited for applications involving yellow metals found in axial piston pumps. 1 Improved productivity was shown in side-by-side excavator tests of up to 6.2%. Improved fuel efficiency was shown in excavators and in plastic injection machines of up to 4.5% and 5% respectively. Comparisons were to a typical single grade hydraulic oil. 2 Evaluations were based on data for a similar product.
Areas of Consideration:
High Pressure
Applications:
Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oils AW are designed for use in mobile and stationary hydraulic vane-, piston-, and gear-type pumps. The antiwear performance of Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oils AW make them especially suited for high performance industrial applications utilizing axial piston pumps where pressures may exceed 5000 psi. Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oils AW are well suited for applications suited in environmentally-sensitive areas. They have a viscosity index much higher than typical conventional antiwear hydraulic oils, provide excellent low temperature pumpability and better wear protection at high operating temperatures (refer to Typical Test Data table). For low temperature startups, care must be taken to ensure that the hydraulic oil flows freely into the pump and no cavitation occurs. Otherwise, subjecting a pump to cavitation will cause damage to critical components. Careful attention to the oil's viscosity at low temperature is the key to ensuring adequate flow and preventing cavitation. Please consult with the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of your equipment to determine the maximum viscosity allowed during startup under no load conditions. The recommended maximum viscosity under load conditions for hydraulic oil as specified by most pump OEMs is 860 cSt. For cold starts under no-load conditions, the startup viscosity can be much higher than 860 cSt. No-load running conditions should be applied until the equipment has warmed up to the maximum startup viscosity under load as recommended by the OEM, and full load operation can then be applied when the oil viscosity falls below this recommended viscosity under load. Refer to the service manual of the equipment to ensure that the minimum fluid viscosity requirements are met at the highest operating temperature. Please consult with your equipment manufacturer if equipment is operating outside normal operating conditions. Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oils AW are not compatible with zinc/calcium containing fluids, and OEM recommended lubrication change-out procedures including drain and flush requirements need to be adhered to. Do not use in high pressure systems in the vicinity of flames, sparks and hot surfaces. Use only in well ventilated areas. Keep container closed.
