Influence of Fluid Properties on Hydraulic System Losses: A Comparative Analysis of Dynamometer and Excavator Field Tests
The ASTM D7721 standard practice for determining the effect of fluid selection on hydraulic system performance was applied to the study of two excavators and a hydraulic dynamometer. Six fully formulated fluids spanning two viscosity grades and three viscosity index (VI) levels were evaluated using the dynamometer. Fou...
