Hydraulic Oil Compatibility with seals and hoses is critical for maintaining the overall integrity and performance of a hydraulic system. Incompatible oils can cause seals and hoses to swell, harden, crack, or degrade, leading to leaks and system failures. Seals and gaskets are often made from specific materials that require compatible hydraulic oils to maintain their elasticity and sealing properties. When hydraulic oil is not compatible, it can chemically react with these materials, compromising their ability to prevent fluid leaks and maintain pressure within the system. Hoses, similarly, can deteriorate when exposed to incompatible oils, resulting in reduced flexibility, increased brittleness, and eventual rupture. These failures not only lead to fluid loss and reduced system efficiency but also pose safety hazards due to the risk of sudden leaks under high pressure. Ensuring that the chosen hydraulic oil is compatible with all seals and hoses in the system is essential for preserving the mechanical integrity, preventing leaks, and ensuring the reliable and safe operation of hydraulic machinery.
