Synosis Points
1
In hydraulic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a liquid under pressure within an enclosed circuit. The most widely used liquid for hydraulic power systems is mineral oil which has the advantages of excellent lubricity, availability in a wide range of viscosities and reasonable cost.
2
While not readily ignited in bulk, mineral oil is nevertheless flammable and the high pressures associated with hydraulic systems can lead to a release of fluid which is easily ignited. In circumstances where ignition is likely, such as in a steel mill, or where the released fluid must not propagate a fire, such as in a coal mine, an alternative fire-resistant fluid must be used. Fire-resistance and physical properties such as viscosity and lubricity vary widely among the several types of fluid available. It is therefore important to select a fire-resistant fluid which matches its proposed application and the perceived hazards in use.
3
This document specifies the operational characteristics for the various categories of fire-resistant fluids defined by ISO 6743-4. It includes requirements and guidelines for use of these fluids and specifies the factors to consider when selecting a fluid from these categories for a proposed application. This document identifies difficulties which can arise from the use of such fluids and indicates how they can be minimized. Procedures are given for replacing one fluid with another from a different category. Health and safety aspects when handling and disposing of fire-resistant fluids are also covered.

This standard was originally published in 2002 which was based on ISO 7745 : 1989 ‘Hydraulic fluid power — Fire resistant (FR) fluids — Guidelines for use’. The first revision was carried out for adoption of revised ISO 7745 : 2010 Hydraulic fluid power — Fire-resistant (FR) fluids — Requirements and guidelines for use. This (second) revision has been undertaken to adopt the latest version ISO 7745 : 2024.
