What does ISO VG 46 mean?
Viscosity
Viscosity is defined as a fluid’s resistance to flow at a specific temperature. For example, for a lubricant to be considered an ISO VG “46,” it would have to have a flow speed of 41.4-50.6 cSt. The thicker the oil (the slower the flow rate) gives it a higher ISO VG number.
What is VG 46 oil?
NYBASE ISO VG 46 is a mid-range viscosity speciality base oil for Group I replacement, with high Viscosity Index (VI), high Flash Point (FP) and excellent low temperature properties. Recommended for the formulation of industrial, automotive and metal working fluids.
Is VG 46 the same as AW 46?
AW 46 Hydraulic Oils contain a zinc anti-wear additive that is designed to protect hydraulic systems and equipment by reducing wear. AW 46 hydraulic fluids have an International Standards Viscosity Grade or ISO VG of 46. This is the thickness of the fluid tested at 40 degrees Celsius.
Is ISO VG 46 flammable?
Upper/lower flammability or explosive limits Not known. Other flammability Product is not flammable but on excessive heating may become combustible. Vapour pressure <0.1 kPa @ 20°C Vapour density Not determined. Relative density 0.870 @ 15.6°C Solubility(ies) Insoluble in water.
What does ISO VG stand for?
the International Standards Organization Viscosity Grade
It is known as the International Standards Organization Viscosity Grade, ISO VG for short. You don’t have to listen very long in this field before someone says that viscosity is the most important physical property of a fluid when determining lubrication requirements.
Can you mix ISO 46 and AW 46?
It is never recommended to mix oils with different additives. This can compromise the additive performance of both components, cause corrosion on the component surface and lead to increased mechanical wear.
What does ISO VG 100 mean?
NYBASE ISO VG 100 is a high viscosity speciality base oil for Group I replacement, with high Viscosity Index (VI), high Flash Point (FP) and excellent low temperature properties. Recommended for the formulation of industrial, automotive and metal working fluids.
