hydraulic oil- HL Grade is a hydraulic oil based on mineral base oil and additives for hydraulic control systems and power transmission, also suitable for circulating systems. Grades: HL 22, HL 32, HL 46, HL 68, HL 150. In the ISO 6743-4 family, HL denotes a refined base oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors (ASTM D6158).

Overview
hydraulic oil- HL Grade is a hydraulic oil based on mineral base oil and additives for hydraulic control systems and power transmission, also suitable for circulating systems. Grades: HL 22, HL 32, HL 46, HL 68, HL 150. In the ISO 6743-4 family, HL denotes a refined base oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors (ASTM D6158).
The specification table lists each grade separately, with the test method for every value, so grades can be compared directly before ordering.
Application
Systems whose manufacturer specifies an ISO 6743-4 HL fluid.
Application
Circulation lubrication where an HL-type oil of the right viscosity is specified.
Feature
HL 22: KV40 22 cSt, KV100 4 cSt, VI 100, pour point -30 °C, flash point 200 °C; HL 32: KV40 32 cSt, KV100 5.5 cSt, VI 100, pour point -30 °C, flash point 210 °C; HL 46: KV40 46 cSt, KV100 6.8 cSt, VI 100, pour point -27 °C, flash point 220 °C; HL 68: KV40 68 cSt, KV100 9 cSt, VI 106, pour point -24 °C, flash point 220 °C; HL 150: KV40 150 cSt, KV100 16 cSt, VI 110, pour point -18 °C, flash point 225 °C.
Under ISO 6743-4 (as summarised in ASTM D6158), HH is a refined base oil without rust, oxidation or anti-wear additives, while HL adds rust and oxidation inhibitors. Use the category your equipment manufacturer specifies.
