PETRONAS Hydraulic HV 68 belongs to the PETRONAS Hydraulic HV Series of high performance, wear-resistant hydraulic fluids, formulated with high quality selected base oils, a shear-stable VI improver, and advanced anti-wear, antioxidant, anti-rust and anti-foam additives. It is recommended for mobile and industrial hydraulic systems operating under normal to heavy-duty conditions that demand good control of fluid viscosity, systems subjected to high or rapid variations in operating or ambient temperature, outdoor systems in cold climates with frequent cold start-ups, and systems requiring high precision and stable efficiency, such as moulding machines. The high viscosity index formulation provides strong anti-wear protection and more stable performance across a wider temperature range than standard-VI products, together with an oxidation life up to three times longer than the minimum ISO 11158 HV TOST requirement. Grade 68 has a kinematic viscosity of 68 cSt at 40°C and 10.5 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 142, a flash point of 230°C and a pour point of -30°C. PETRONAS Hydraulic HV Series meets or exceeds ASTM D 6158 HV, ISO 11158 HV, DIN 51524 Part II HLP and Part III HVLP, SAE MS1004, and OEM specifications including Bosch Rexroth RD90220, Parker Denison HF-0/HF-1/HF-2, Eaton 03-401-2010, GM LS-2, Fives Cincinnati P-68/P-69/P-70 and US Steel 126/127/136.
ASTM D6158, type HV — high-viscosity-index hydraulic oil
The HV class of ASTM D6158: an antiwear hydraulic oil with a high viscosity index that holds its fluidity across a wide temperature range — typical for equipment working outdoors.
GM lubrication standard for plant machinery
General Motors’ standard for the lubricants used in the machinery of its plants — hydraulic, gear and turbine oils. It is not a specification for vehicle oils.
Bosch Rexroth RE 90220 — mineral hydraulic fluids
Bosch Rexroth’s data sheet for hydraulic fluids based on mineral oil and related hydrocarbons, for its own pumps and motors: filterability, cleanliness and antiwear requirements beyond DIN 51524-2.
Hydraulic oil, type H HV — ISO 11158
Class HV of ISO 11158: an antiwear hydraulic oil with a high viscosity index, for systems exposed to wide temperature swings.
Hydraulic oil HLP — DIN 51524, part 2
Part 2 of the German hydraulic fluid standard: HLP oils — mineral oils with oxidation, corrosion and antiwear additives. It is the most widely quoted reference in industrial hydraulics.
Parker Denison HF-0 — hydraulic fluid, most severe level
The most severe level of the Denison hydraulic fluid specification: the oil must pass the wear test on both a vane pump and a piston pump, dry and in the presence of water. HF-0 subsumes HF-1 and HF-2.
Industrial hydraulic fluids (Type H)
SAE specification for Type H industrial lubricants and related products (hydraulic fluids); it is not a brake-fluid standard.
Eaton 03-401-2010 — hydraulic fluids
Eaton's hydraulic fluid specification for its own pumps and motors, which unified the former Vickers I-286-S and M-2950-S requirements.
SEB 181 222 — HLP hydraulic oil
A delivery condition for mineral HLP hydraulic oils to DIN 51524-2, used when supplying German industrial equipment.
Fives Cincinnati P-68 — ISO VG 32 hydraulic oil
An approval number from the Fives Cincinnati list of fluids for use in its own machine tools. Approved hydraulic fluids must pass its own wear, filterability and water separation tests, beyond the DIN 51524-2 level.
Fives Cincinnati P-69 — ISO VG 68 hydraulic oil
An approval number from the Fives Cincinnati list of fluids for use in its own machine tools. Approved hydraulic fluids must pass its own wear, filterability and water separation tests, beyond the DIN 51524-2 level.
Fives Cincinnati P-70 — ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil
An approval number from the Fives Cincinnati list of fluids for use in its own machine tools. Approved hydraulic fluids must pass its own wear, filterability and water separation tests, beyond the DIN 51524-2 level.
U.S. Steel 126 — antiwear hydraulic oil
The steel industry specification for antiwear hydraulic oils: wear protection, oxidation stability and demulsibility in rolling mill systems, where water is always present.
AIST/US Steel 127 — EP gear oil
A US Steel/AIST gear-oil requirement quoted alongside AIST/US Steel 126, for steel-mill gear applications.
Parker Denison HF-2 — hydraulic fluid
The HF-2 level of the Denison specification, defined by the vane pump wear test. It is the base requirement for hydraulic oils in Denison equipment.
AISE 127 — steel mill lubrication recommendations
The AISE — today AIST — standard collecting the lubrication recommendations for steel plant installations: oil types, viscosity grades and requirements per equipment group.
