Manufacturer's description
Synthetic hydrocarbon hydraulic fluid for aircraft. AeroShell Fluid 61 is a synthetic hydrocarbon base hydraulic fluid specifically inhibited to provide excellent oxidation stability for the oil and good corrosion preventive protection to the hydraulic system.
Applications
- AeroShell Fluid 61 is designed for use where a fire resistant preservative grade hydraulic fluid is required and is suitable for operational use as well as preservation of components during storage and shipment.
- AeroShell Fluid 61 has an operating temperature range of –40 0 C to +200 0 C.
- AeroShell Fluid 61 is compatible with all AeroShell Hydraulic Fluids.
- AeroShell Fluid 61 is a synthetic oil and should not be used in contact with incompatible seal materials.
- Chlorinated solvents should not be used for cleaning hydraulic components which use AeroShell Fluid 61. The residual solvent contaminates the hydraulic fluid and may lead to corrosion.
Performance & benefits
- The previous US specification revision covered two grades, Type I and Type II. The only difference between the two grades is that Type II is dyed red for aerospace use whereas Type I is undyed
