Selecting a Halocarbon Oil Grade<br />

When replacing a conventional lubricant with a Halocarbon oil, we have found through<br />

experience that a good choice is a Halocarbon grade numerically similar to the ISO grade.<br />

Table 6 (below) shows the alignment of Halocarbon oil grades with the commonly used<br />

viscosity systems.<br />

Alternately, the fluid being replaced and the Halocarbon oil should have similar absolute<br />

viscosities, expressed in centipoises. Absolute viscosity is the kinematic viscosity (expressed<br />

in centistokes) multiplied by fluid density (expressed in g/mL). The high density of Halocarbon<br />

oils (about twice that of water) means that the absolute viscosity is about twice the kinematic<br />

viscosity. Hydrocarbon-based fluids, which have densities below 1 g/mL, have similar<br />

centipoises and centistokes values.<br />
