6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature which may be
helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The hydraulic fluid is intended for use as an operational fluid from -54C to
+135C where corrosion protection is required and a determination has been made that MIL-PRF-46170
(FRH) hydraulic fluid cannot be used. This includes use in recoil mechanisms and hydraulic systems for
rotating weapons or aiming devices of tactical and support ordnance equipment, except combat armored
vehicles/equipment which require FRH.
6.1.1 Cleaning agents.
6.1.1.1 Isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol should not be used as a cleaning agent on
components containing any parts which may have come in contact with hydraulic fluid. A sticky acrylic
resin is formed which may be detrimental to the proper operation of hydraulic components. If isopropyl
alcohol must be used as part of a cleaning sequence, it is essential that the components be thoroughly
dried to remove all traces of the alcohol.
6.1.1.2 Chlorinated solvents. Chlorinated solvents should not be used for cleaning hydraulic
components. Residual solvent contaminates the hydraulic fluid and may cause corrosion damage.
6.1.1.3 Recommended solvents. The recommended solvents are MIL-PRF-680, type II, or
other petroleum distillate type solvents.
6.1.2 Storage conditions. Prior to use in the intended equipment, the product may be
stored under conditions of covered or uncovered storage in geographic areas ranging in
temperatures from -57C to +49C (-70F to +120F).
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. If sample for conformance inspection should be tested other than as specified
(see 4.3).
c. If water and/or chemicals used are other than specified (see 4.5).
d. Method of determining particle size (see 4.5.6.1).
e. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
f. Type, PIN, and quantity of oil required (see 6.4).
6.2.1 List of Qualified Products. Products considered acceptable under this specification
are listed in QPL-6083.
