FIRE SAFETY NEWS

Mineral oils are highly flammable and are a serious source of fire hazard in high temperature environments and applications close to open flames or red-hot metal parts. The risk is further increased by the rapid and aggressive Ignition rate of mineral oils. Today mineral oil dangers present industries with very real major risks including disruption in operation, plant shut down, and threats to worker safety. With QUINTOLUBRIC® products, this risk can be reduced and managed preventively.

 

How to Prevent Hydraulic Oil Fires

Because hydraulic systems are highly pressurized, flames from a hydraulic oil fire can spread over dozens of meters. On factory premises, such a conflagration will unavoidably reach cables or other combustible material, which will catch fire and be rapidly destroyed. It is therefore essential to assess the risks related to hydraulic oils in order to ensure sufficient protection methods. In fact, the risk of an oil fire can be completely eliminated by shifting to non-combustible hydraulic fluids or adopting electrically or pneumatically operated equipment.

Ignition of Hydraulic Fluid Sprays by Open Flames and Hot Surfaces

Pressurized oil in hydraulic systems presents a considerable fire hazard, particularly where ignition sources are present. When hydraulic oil is released under pressure, it often results in an atomized spray or mist of oil droplets that may extend as far as 10 m from the break (Bowen & Shirvill, 1994). The oil spray can be ignited readily by hot surfaces, such as heated or molten metal, electric heaters, open flames or welding arcs. The resulting fire usually is torch-like, with a very high heat release rate, and can cause significant property damage, even loss of human lives. The frequency of fires involving hydraulic fluids has prompted the introduction of fire-resistant fluids in hydraulic systems.

MINERAL OIL vs. SYNTHETIC WATER FREE FLUIDS

Performance on a 1,652°F (900°C) tilted hot plate

QUINTOLUBRIC® 855 and 865

Vegetable ester based fluid designed to replace anti-wear, mineral oil based hydraulic fluids as well as vegetable-based fluids and polyol esters. For use in systems with a maximum reservoir temperature of 70°C (150°F), in combination with partial refreshment by system leakage. Has a higher viscosity index compared with mineral oil makes it ideal for use at a wider temperature range – has good cold start-up properties and offers a higher viscosity at increased temperatures.

Main Applications: Slab caster, Hot and cold rolling, Pickling, Tin rolling, Tempering, Mobile equipment, Belt take-up hydraulics, and Hydraulic couplings

  • Good lubrication properties
  • Compatible with most standard seal materials
  • Energy saving because of low density compared to other HFD type fluids
  • Does not compromise the overall hydraulic system in environmentally sensitive hydraulic applications
  • Factory Mutual Approved
