ISO 6743-4 Lubricants - Industrial Lubricants - H Family Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 6743-4 testing. ISO 6743-4 specifies the detailed classification of H Family fluids (Hydraulic systems) belonging to class L (Lubricants, industrial oils and related products). This classification system does not include automotive brake fluids or aircraft hydraulic fluids.

ISO 6743-4 Lubricants - Industrial Lubricants - H Family Test

Part 6743 of ISO 4-4, Family H, focuses specifically on lubricants used in hydraulic systems. It is used in a wide variety of industrial applications such as hydraulic systems, construction equipment, agricultural machinery and manufacturing equipment. They use a hydraulic fluid to transmit power and control the movement of components.

Chapter 4 The H Family classifies lubricants for hydraulic systems into 11 categories based on their composition and intended use.

These categories include:

  • HL: Mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids;
  • H-HL: Synthetic hydraulic fluids;
  • H-HV: High viscosity index hydraulic fluids;
  • H-LV: Low viscosity hydraulic fluids;
  • H-HM: Hydraulic fluids for systems with high humidity pollution;
  • H-HS: Fire resistant hydraulic fluids;
  • HT: Hydraulic fluids for systems with high temperature operating conditions;
  • H-TD: Hydraulic fluids for systems with high temperature and high pressure operating conditions;
  • H-FR: Water glycol hydraulic fluids;
  • H-FA: Anhydrous hydraulic fluids;
  • H-FC: Synthetic ester based hydraulic fluids.

Each of these categories is further divided into subcategories based on specific characteristics such as viscosity and performance characteristics. The classification system provides manufacturers and users with a standardized way to communicate information about hydraulic fluid, including its intended use and performance characteristics.

By using ISO 6743-4, manufacturers and users can be assured they are using the appropriate hydraulic fluid for their particular application, which can help extend the life of hydraulic components and reduce maintenance costs. It also helps improve safety and performance by providing standardized information on hydraulic fluid's intended use and performance characteristics.
