Field Demonstration of Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid in Military Tactical and Construction Equipment.

Abstract

The U.S. Army is currently using four different types of hydraulic fluids/oils. The MIL-H-6083 and MIL-H-461 70 are used for Armor vehicles, while MIL-L-21 04 (1OW) is used for construction equipment or other applications and MIL-46001 is used for industrial hydraulic systems. As a part of the development of the biodegradable hydraulic fluid program, a field demonstration was conducted at Ft. Bliss, TX for one year using military tactical and construction equipment The demonstration was successfully completed, and no abnormal behavior was observed. This report summarizes the results of field demonstration for biodegradable hydraulic fluids in tactical and construction equipment.
