MIL-H-83282 Standard Test Method for Hydraulic Fluid

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of MIL-H-83282 testing. This standard covers general requirements for a synthetic hydrocarbon-based hydraulic fluid for use in the temperature range of -40° to +205°C. The fluid is also used in air source motor compressors and related equipment.

MIL-H-83282 is a military standard covering a synthetic hydrocarbon-based hydraulic fluid designed to be fire resistant. Hydraulic fluid is primarily used in aircraft hydraulic systems where it can be exposed to high temperatures and fire hazards.

The fluid is made of synthetic hydrocarbons that offer excellent thermal and oxidative stability, low volatility and good lubricating properties. It also contains additives that increase fire resistance, such as phosphate esters or alkylated diphenylamine.

MIL-H-83282 specifies requirements for hydraulic fluid that include physical and chemical properties and performance characteristics such as ignition resistance and self-extinguishing in the event of fire. The standard also includes requirements for packaging, labeling and storage of liquid.

Hydraulic fluid is used in a variety of military aircraft hydraulic systems, including landing gear, brakes, and flight controls. It is also used in some commercial aircraft hydraulic systems, as well as in other high temperature and fire resistant applications such as steel mills and foundries.
