QUESTION: [WHYAFIR E - R E SISTANTFLU ID?1
ANSWER: Fluids spray farther than you d THINK!
When a hydraulic system (ails--and the best of them can fail--fluids at pressures of 1000 p. s. i. and above can jet surprising distances. In one disastrous fire a hy draulic line broke and the fluid was ignited by a flame
40 feet away.
The smaller the break, of course, the farther the fluid may travel. And through a pin-point leak, flommable fluids can be atomized to an explosive vapor-air mist-- potentially an even greater hazard.
Around every hydraulic machine and line in your plant there is a danger zone.

In addition to obvious means--open flames, molten or red hot metals, electric sparks, etc.,--there are many other ignition sources. One fire was started when a jet of flammable fluid broke an ordinary electric bulb and was ignited by the incondescent filament. Sometimes the source--like the maintenance man's welding torch--is only in the danger zone occasionally.
The safest way to guard against these dangers is to keep a fire-resistant fluid in your hydraulic system. And PYDRAUL F-9 is the preferred fluid.

Introduction
Hydraulic power is a vital and growing factor in ; our industrial picture. Its versatility and many od-
vantages have led to its adoption by practically every industry.
Many of the applications of hydraulic power involve fire hazards such as open flames, molten metals and glass, sparks, etc. Since flammable petroleum fluids ore widely used in hydraulic equipment, there have been serious fires when such fluids were ac cidentally released and ignited.
> PYDRAUL F-9 was developed by Monsanto Chemical Company to provide industry with a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid which combines safety with the
Ioperational qualities of a premium grade petroleum fluid. This combination of safety and utility plus proved performance has brought wide acceptance . of PYDUUL F-9.

[Section II: Safety
During several years of industrial use Pydraul F-9 has been accidentally discharged over molten metal, red hot ingots, arcs, open flames and sparks. In no case has a fire resulted from such contact.
Most materials, even metals, can be made to bum under some conditions. If Pydraul F-9 is heated until decomposition products are formed, some burning can occur if an ignition source exists. But this is likely to happen only around high temperature sources like furnaces, molten metal, etc. Under conditions of in dustrial use, extraneous burning in hot areas is not
important because excessive heat has already been provided for. What is important is keeping flames from leaving such areas, thereby spreading fires.'Thus a hydraulic fluid which is used in high temperature areas or which can reach these by line breaks, should not carry flames outside the high temperature zone. Pydraul F-9 excels in this important flame re sistance.
Below are some of the test data which demonstrate the safety of Pydraul F-9 under conditions of in dustrial hydraulic operation.

[Section IV: Stability of PYDRAUL F-9
Pydraul F-9 is a highly stable fluid under all normal conditions of industrial hydraulic use. It has excellent resistance to heat, water and oxygen, and is noncor
rosive to metals. Examination of Pydraul F-9 after several years of use has shown that the fluid retains its desirable properties almost indefinitely.
^THERMAL stability^
The fire resistance of Pydraul F-9 is inherent and is not due to the presence of water or other additives. Pydraul F-9 contains no readily volatile components, the loss of which can alter fluid composition during
use, nor does it break down under temperatures en countered in most systems. Where necessary, Pydraul F-9 can be operated for long periods of time at tem peratures as high as 300 F.
[CORROSION AN& IoXIDATION STABJLnY^
Pydraul F-9 does not react with the various metals found in hydraulic systems nor does it allow elect rolytic corrosion. Good oxidation stability is to be expected due to the fire-resistant nature of Pydraul F-9, since burning is simply rapid oxidation.
The following tests were run according to procedures for determining corrosion and oxidation stability as
given in the Military Specification MIL-0-5606 (Oil, Hydraulic, Aircraft, Petroleum Base). In this pro cedure, strips of copper, iron, magnesium, aluminum and cadmium plated steel are all immersed in the test fluid. The fluid is heated to 250 F. and held there for 168 hours while air is bubbled through. The fluid and metal strips are then examined for changes.

^Section V: Lubrication and pump tests
An essential characteristic of a hydraulic fluid is the ability to properly lubricate moving parts under criti cal loading. Pydraul F-9 is outstanding in this respect, and field use has shown that in some instances it has reduced wear even below that encountered with high grade petroleum base fluids.
Pydraul F-9 has been tested and used in most of the hydraulic pumps commercially available. Pump manu
facturers have expressed their approval of Pydraul F-9 because its characteristics help their pumps attain maximum service life. Pydraul F-9 is even being used successfully in pumps where normally a petroleum fluid of much higher viscosity would be required.
Results of some of the laboratory and field tests on the lubricating characteristics of Pydraul F-9 follow.

| PUMP TESTS
Vickers Vane Pump, Type V-105A
Two parallel tests were run using Pydraul F-9 in one pump and a standard petroleum base hydraulic fluid in the other.
During the test, the pumps were operated at 150 F. (=tS) for 16 hours a day, 5 days a week. This in terrupted operation was deemed more stringent than 24-hour operation because of the greater wear to be expected from frequent cold starts. For the first 400 hours, both pumps operated at 1200 r.p.m. at 100 p.s.i. delivering 4.76 gallons per minute. After 400 hours, the pump handling Pydraul F-9 was stepped up to 1500 p.s.i. for 126 hours; then for the next several hundred hours to 1800 r.p.m. at 1500 p.s.i. delivering 6.5 to 7.0 gallons per minute. After 800 hours of total operation, the pump was dismantled and the parts checked for weight loss.
After only 200 hours of operation the rotor of the pump operated on petroleum fluid showed a weight loss of 2.9 grams due to wear. The rotor with Pydraul F-9 lost no weight in the first 200 hours, and only 0.1 gram after 800 hours. The weight loss of vanes and rings with either fluid was negligible.
Vickers Piston Pump, Type PV 2008
This pump was tested with Pydraul F-9 at 2000 p.s.i. for 1118 hours, and the parts were inspected. Pydraul F-9 was judged quite suitable for this type of pump.
In numerous field installations the service life of the above two pumps operating with Pydraul F-9 ranges between 25,000 and 40,000 hours--equivalent to the service with premium petroleum fluids.
Laboratory and field tests have been made on the pumps of other manufacturers with equally good results. For a list of the pumps in which Pydraul F-9 is now being used see page 2.

[Sectlon VI: Change-over to PYDRAUL F-9
The conversion to Pydraul F-9 of equipment which has previously contained petroleum or other hydraulic fluid is relatively simple and follows logical engineer ing practice. The steps below are given simply as a check list. Where possible, it is desirable to obtain recommended procedures from the manufacturers of the machine and pump on hand since the makers will be most familiar with the best method of handling their own equipment.
Pydraul F-9 is an excellent flushing compound in its own right: it will loosen tars, varnish and residues left by the previous fluid. Pydraul F-9 will also loosen and remove paint from the interior of the machine. These contaminants can be most easily removed from
1. Before shutting down the machine for conver sion, check the entire system while in operation for fluid leaks. Mark these for correction later.
2. Drain the previous fluid from the reservoir, lines and cylinders as completely as possible. Some times this can be done by opening unions at low spots in the system, and in other cases blowing out with air will help.
If the previous fluid was petroleum oil it will mix readily with Pydraul F-9. However, the more completely the oil is drained, the safer the new fluid will be.
3. Clean the reservoir carefully and completely. It is desirable to remove interior paint at this time if possible, and this can be done by scraping or with a commercial paint remover. When the reservoir is clean it should be wiped dry with clean rags or towels that are free from dirt or grit. Waste is likely to contain grit particles and lint that will later damage the pump or valves.
4. If a filter is used, remove and clean or change the cartridge.
5. Check the pump assembly and replace any parts that are seriously worn.
6. As to packings, either of two courses may be followed. Many have converted with no change in packings and then have later replaced leaking packings, if any, with resistant materials. The other method is to change part or all of the packings to materials resistant to Pydraul F-9 at the time of conversion. Neoprene, a commonly used packing, swells in Pydraul F-9. In static or fixed packings this is no problem since the swelling usually makes a tighter seal. However, when the joint is later dis-assembled the swelled
the circulating Pydraul F-9 by a filter in the system. If there is no filter,-or if it is difficult to reach for cleaning, it may be advisable to use a portable filter which can be connected into the fluid return line. This portable filter can be left in the line for two or three days of operation and then moved to the next machine to be converted, Since it is considered good hydraulic practice to filter hydraulic fluids during normal operation, the portable filter can be used routinely, after conversion, to filter the fluids on a regular basis.
Following are the genera! steps for converting a hydraulic system to Pydraul F-9.
packing usually has to be replaced with a new one. For dynamic or sliding seals, a neoprene part is more likely to fail and these moving seals should be replaced with packings made of resistant ma terials. (Most packing manufacturers can now supply packings for use with Pydraul F-9. If the regular supplier does not have these, a list of manufacturers is shown in Section VII.)
7. In most machines, if hose is used, it is usually of neoprene. In previous installations, this hose has apparently presented no problem. Swelling does not seem to occur nor have there been failures other than from normal wear. However, it is recommended that when hose is replaced, a hose resistant to Pydraul F-9 (Butyl lining will suf fice) should be used.
8. If a nitrogen bottle accumulator is used, no change is necessary. If a bladder type accumula tor is used, a Butyl rubber bladder should be used instead of neoprene.
9. Reconnect all lines and tighten, particularly those joints previously noted leaking. Fill with Pydraul F-9 to the proper level.
10. With the hydraulic controls on neutral, start and stop the pump several times, without allow ing the system to reach working pressure. This will provide the necessary pump lubrication. The pump may then be left on and the system brought up to working pressure.
11. Run through the cycle several times to use all parts of the hydraulic system. Bleed the air through the petcocks or valves provided from any parts in which air can collect.
12. Check the fluid level and add Pydraul F-9 if necessary.

About Fluid Makeup . . L.
The technique of holding down the makeup requirement for Pydraul F-9 is the same as with any fluid; namely, adequate maintenance. The normal loss of Pydraul F-9 in a properly converted system will be no more than that for a petroleum fluid, and in a great many cases it has been considerably less. With proper maintenace Pydraul F-9 losses in diecasting machines have been held to as little as a pint per 8 hour shift. If a fluid reclaiming system is added--a relatively simple matter with Pydraul F-9-- the total use of fluid can be cut even further. It is not unusual to find that where Pydraul F-9 has been installed, the daily cost of hydraulic fluid used has actually gone down.

^Section VII: Packings and seals data
Packings and seals suitable for use with Pydraul F-9 are available from a large number of manufacturers and in all configurations. No "special" materials are needed for packings or seals -- simply certain kinds of standard materials.
Packings resistant to Pydraul F-9 are generally required only for moving (dy namic) seals. Static seals may be made of resistant materials or not, as the user
prefers. In a static packing, swelling usually gives an even tighter seal. Best practice, however, dictates replacement of nonresistant seals with suitable pack ings during normal maintenance and routine overhaul.
Table 5 lists the manufacturers who have indicated the availability of packings resistant to Pydraul F-9.

Other hydraulic components
Kilters, hose, couplings and other hydraulic system components for use with Pydraul F-9 are readily available. Often these are the same units that are used with petroleum fluids. Paints resistant to Pydraul F-9 can be supplied by several manufacturers.
Manufacturers who have reported having suitable components for use with Pydraul F-9 are listed below.
Standard oil filters can usually be used satisfactorily. Earth type filters are also suitable where excessive quantities of moisture are not present. Manufacturers of such filters include--
Briggs Filtration Co. Capital Engineering Co. Cuno Engineering Corp. Dollinger Corp.
Hilliard Corp. Honan-Crane Corp. Marvel Engineering-Co.
Although both neoprene and Buna N type rubber swell in Pydraul F-9, hoses of both materials have been used widely and are apparently satisfactory. In practice it would probably be preferable to use a more resistant rubber such as Butyl if new hoses are to be installed. Those supplying hose lined with Butyl rubber include--
Aeroquip Corp.
Electric Hose & Rubber Co.
Anchor Coupling Co.
Resistoflex Corp.
B. F. Goodrich Co.
Weatherhead Corp.
Eastman Manufacturing Co.

tectlon IX: Reclaiming PYDRAUL F-9
The exceptional stability of Pydraul F-9 and its re sistance to water makes possible its recovery from leaks and spills. Careful recovery can result in con siderable savings in the cost of the fluid. Therefore fluid recovery should be a definite part of the main tenance program where fluid losses are appreciable. Pydraul F-9 can be readily reclaimed by removing the usual contaminants in two steps: separation of the water, and filtration of the dirt.
Since water is not soluble in Pydraul F-9 it can be easily separated by allowing contaminated fluid to stand until two layers form -- water on top and Pydraul F-9 on the bottom. In the shop a drum can be reserved for collecting contaminated fluid. A drum with a side and end bung supported horizontally on a cradle about two feet above the floor is a simple and effective settling chamber. With the drum turned so the side bung is on lop, salvaged fluid can be added through a large funnel left in the top opening. A drain valve in the end opening can then be used to periodically remove separated Pydraul F-9 for filtration. More elaborate methods using this same principle might use settling tanks with sight gauges and so on.
Another method of separating water from Pydraul F-9 involves the use of a centrifuge ("cream separator"). Suitable units are manufactured by De Laval and Sharpies Co., among others. The advantages of the centrifuge are that large volumes of fluid can be pro cessed rapidly and no settling-out period is necessary.
One caution should be noted. Oil will dissolve in Pydraul F-9 and cannot be removed. This will not harm the Pydraul F-9 but will increase fluid flam mability and may affect packings. To maintain a fire-resistant fluid, contamination with oil should be avoided.
The final step is that of filtration and this can be done in any one of a number of commercial units. Filtering media such as cotton linters, felt, metal screens, etc. can be used and Fuller's earth and diatomaceous earth are satisfactory if water is not allowed to enter with Pydraul F-9. A small pump and motor are used to pick up the Pydraul F-9 after separation from the water, force it through the filter, and then into the drum for storage. Care, of course, should be taken that the final drum is clean. A sal vage drum, portable filter unit and storage drum are shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 6 is a diagram of a typical

OUO/flil

centrifuge unit for water separation. Centrifuged fluid which still contains dirt has to be filtered as in Fig. 5.
Several of the filter manufacturers put out a complete unit that includes the filter, motor and pump. These companies include Hilliard, Cuno, and Honan-Crane. Such a unit has value beyond its use for reclaiming Pydraul F-9, as some plants use such equipment to clean up all their hydraulic fluid every few weeks. For other filter manufacturers see page 16.
The quantity of Pydraul F-9 that can be reclaimed is usually surprising. Simply placing containers be neath leaks until they can be repaired can result in fluid savings of 10% or more. Where drip pans have been used beneath hydraulic machinery more than 50% of the Pydraul F-9 purchased has been reclaimed. Savings like these greatly reduce overall fluid cost and can make Pydraul F-9 the most economical fireresistant fluid in actual use.

'Section X- Toxicity and safe handling information
Extensive animal experimental work has been done on Pydraul F-9. In the case of oral feedings it was found that the minimum lethal dose for rats was 10.6 to 15.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. In rabbits the oral MLD was 0.57 to 0.85 grams; in both cases the undiluted material was introduced into the animal stomach by means of a rubber tube catheter.
Pydraul F-9 was patch-tested full strength according to the method of Schwartz and Peck, which is the standard test for industrial chemicals. Two hundred and five volunteers were tested and there was no evidence of primary skin irritation or sensitization.
The material was tested for its vapor phase toxicity by exposing animals to saturated atmosphere concen trations in suitable chambers. This part of the in vestigation involved not only the vapors of Pydraul F-9 itself but also experiments where the fluid was dropped on Inconel surfaces heated to 1050 F. and 1250 F, In all cases the toxicity was roughly com
parable to that of petroleum-based hydraulic fluids as far as short-term massive exposures are concerned.
When splashed or sprayed into the eyes, Pydraul F-9 causes burning and smarting; however, there have been no reports of lasting damage. In treating eye irritation following introduction of Pydraul, copius and prolonged washing is recommended. To relieve the irritation, physicians have used 1% pontocaine solu tion as well as opthalmic cortisone acetate solution.
Regarding the effect of Pydraul F-9 on workers, we have not experienced any injuries during its manu facture. We advise in safe handling that following prolonged or repeated skin contact, the material be washed off and that the material be kept out of the eyes. If prolonged contact with the decomposition products at elevated temperatures should occur, res piratory protection is necessary. For short periods such as would occur in turning off a machine follow ing a breakdown, no such protection is necessary.
