2.6.1
Mineral oils health and safety information
DH-Budenberg/WIKA provide hydraulic mineral oil in containers up to 500 ml, labelled “ISO VG 22”,
for use up to 4,000 bar in test pumps. It is no more hazardous than other common lubricating oils.
Information
The term “reference measuring instrument” in these operating instructions refers to
any pressure measuring instrument, such as: pressure gauge, electrical pressure
measuring instrument and pressure transmitter with electrical output. The hydraulic
comparison test pump system is only as accurate as the reference measuring
instrument used. The reference measuring instrument should be regularly calibrated
in order to ensure that its accuracy is maintained.
