Castrol Anvol PE 46 XC Fire resistant hydraulic oil

open
DESCRIPTION

Castrol Anvol PE 46 XC is based on triaryl phosphate esters selected for their excellent hydrolytic stability. It is a high performance ‘HF-D’ type fire resistant hydraulic fluid and contains carefully selected corrosion and oxidation inhibitors. It has excellent hydraulic performance and good fire risk protection

open
APPLICATIONS

Anvol PE 46 XC is suitable for use in hydraulic systems where, in the event of leakage or pipe fracture, there is risk of fire
and where water containing fluids are unsuitable due to temperature limitations or other reasons. It is specifically
designed for use in the electro-hydraulic governor control systems of steam turbines, including systems using fine
tolerance servo valves. Physical properties such as foaming, air release and demulsibility are also carefully controlled
within turbine manufacturers’ specified limits. Anvol PE 46 XC meets the requirements of: Factory Mutual Group 1

ADVANTAGES
  • Offers good fire risk protection in systems where fire resistance is vital and where water containing fluids are
    unsuitable due to temperature limitations or the need to maintain a high hydraulic system pressure.
  • High flash point, fire point and auto-ignition temperature provides excellent fire resistance.
  • High resistivity eliminate spool valve corrosion/erosion due to electrokinetic effects.
  • Low chlorine level minimises valve erosion.
  • Long record of trouble free service in highly demanding hydraulic control systems on turbines.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Compatibility Anvol PE 46 XC is compatible with all metals commonly found in electro-hydraulic control systems. Aluminium components should be hard anodised and the use of copper and copper alloy components kept to a minimum. In common with all phosphate ester fluids, special seals are required and the following materials are suitable:

  • Fluropolymers (Viton)
  • Butyl Rubber PTFE
  • Ethylene Propylene Rubber – under certain operating conditions

Where paint materials are used, they should be epoxy resin based Service precautions Periodic measurement of the fluid neutralisation number should be made during service as this provides a good guide to any product degradation which may occur.

The level and rate of change of neutralisation value will be dependent upon the installation, conditions of operation, and whether in-line filtration of the fluid is carried out. Conversion precaution It is essential that rigorous flushing should be carried out when converting systems from other fluids to phosphate esters.

All scales should be removed, and filters, hoses, seals and internally painted surfaces should be checked for compatibility with the new fluid.

The product should not be stored at temperatures over 60°C. It should be kept away from sunlight, intense cold and extreme temperature fluctuations. If possible, the packaging should not be exposed to the elements. Otherwise, the drums should be laid horizontally to avoid any contamination from water and to prevent the product’s label from rubbing off.
