Houghton issues hydraulic fluid guide

Houghton Intl.'s Fluid Power Division has issued a new hydraulic fluid guide that describes the importance of dealing effectively with both heat and pressure, two of the most potentially dangerous variables when using hydraulics.

The guide details how fluids are used in hydraulic systems to cool, lubricate, and remove contaminants from system components and outlines the need for detailed operational analyses to ensure the best fluid for each hydraulic component is selected.
