What does Aw stand for in hydraulic fluid?
AW stands for anti-wear – R&O oils with an anti-wear additive package. The ISO classification for these oils is HM. MV stands for multi-viscosity.
Is ISO 32 the same as AW 32?
AW 32 hydraulic fluids have an International Standards Viscosity Grade or ISO VG of 32. This is the thickness of the fluid tested at 40 degrees Celcius. ISO VG 32 has good cold weather flow capabilities and its thickness is equivalent to a SAE 10 weight lubricant.
What’s the difference between AW32 and AW 46 hydraulic oil?
AW32 is approximately a 10 weight oil with the additives. AW46 is approximately a 15 weight oil with the additives. AW provides many of the advantages of premium hydraulic oil at a moderate price. Suitable for use in applications where a Premium AW product is not required.

What does AW 32 mean in hydraulic oil?
Quite simply, AW stands for”anti-wear” and the ISO classification for AW oils is —HM. For example, AW 46 hydraulic oil is used to operate the hydraulic systems in off road equipment such as dump trucks, excavators, and backhoes, while AW 32 hydraulic oil colder weather application, like in a snow plow’s pump.
What viscosity is AW 32 hydraulic oil?
Typical Properties
| Flash Point, PMCC | 400°F (204°C) |
|---|---|
| Pour Point | -31°F (-35°C) |
| Rust Protection, ASTM 665B A&B | Pass |
| Specific Gravity | 0.875 |
| Viscosity (40°C) | 32 cSt @ 40°C |
Can you mix AW 32 and AW 46?
Mixing oils with different additive packages is never recommended. Doing so could compromise the additive performance of both constituents, cause corrosion of component surfaces and lead to increased mechanical wear.
Is hydraulic oil better 32 or 46?
The hotter the temperature, the thinner the oil becomes and the colder the oil, the thicker. So, for example, a hydraulic system operating in a cold climate like Tasmania would run better with a lower viscosity grade of 32. Here in Perth, 46 and 68 are better suited to our climate.
What viscosity is AW 46 hydraulic fluid?
At 40 degrees Celsius, AW 46’s viscosity is 46 cSt, giving it its name. At 100 degrees Celsius, its viscosity thins out to 6.8 cSt.
