The scope of this Recommended Practice is to delineate groups of materials for which there is considerable fabrication and operating experience in the sea water environment. In addition, some of the more promising materials for possible future applications are covered.

This HIR specifies general environment and equipment imposed requirements that dictate fluid and lubricant characteristics. For definitions of fluid and lubricant characteristics, see SAE AIR1116. Examples of specification and typical values for properties of fluids for marine vehicles are listed in Appendix A.

This SAE Recommended Practice identifies general requirements for hydraulic fluids to be used for ship systems and equipment with respect to power transmission, lubrication, and passive applications. It also indicates the environmental limits within which the fluids shall perform their intended purpose satisfactorily and reliably. Characteristics of particular importance to ship systems and equipment are discussed.
