DESERT FIELD TEST - ALL WEATHER BRAKE FLUID

Abstract

The object of this test was to evaluate the high temperature field performance of an all weather hydraulic brake fluid. This report covers the results of desert tests at Yuma Test Station, Arizona. New brake cylinders were packaged with the all-weather brake fluid and installed in 1/4 ton, 3/4 ton, 2-1/2 ton and 5 ton facility vehicles; all-weather fluid was placed in the brake systems; the vehicles were then placed in normal facility operation during the test period of 12 June 1962 to 25 February 1963. The all-weather brake fluid performed satisfactorily in all vehicles throughout the test period.
