Controlling Fluid Contamination - Presented by Steve Skinner

Hydraulic systems do occasionally break down and over the years studies have been conducted to try to establish the main causes of hydraulic failures. In nearly all of these studies, fluid condition is identified as the most common cause of system breakdowns. So controlling the contamination level of a hydraulic fluid to an acceptable level is perhaps the single most effective means of both reducing hydraulic breakdowns and extending component lifetimes.
