Despite the considerable number of publications dealing with hydraulics, the vast majority are principally concerned with the mechanical components and system design. Very few allot more than a chapter or so to the functional fluids which, after all, are the energy bearing media. In the following pages I therefore review the development of modern hydraulic fluids, discuss their physical/chemical properties in relation to operational requirements, and offer guidance concerning suitable maintenance routines.
