AGIP OSO is the trademark of a line of high quality hydraulic oils specially developed for use in all types of
hydraulic systems and equipments.
The oils are formulated from selected paraffinic base stocks treated with antirust, antioxidant and
antiwear additives (OSO 15 and 22 Classification ISO-L-FD; OSO 22-150 Classification ISO-L-HM). The oils
are available in a wide range of viscosities to suit all practical requirements.
APPLICATIONS
AGIP OSO fluids are recommended for use in all hydrodynamic power transmission machinery, in hydraulic
controls and hydrostatic systems widely used in all fields of technology, such as transport, construction
and mining, as well as in chemical and metallurgical machinery, machine tools, marine and aviation
equipment etc..
Due to the great influence of viscosity on the efficiency of hydraulic machinery, the grade chosen should
be that recommended by the system designer. Purely as an indication, the lighter grades are generally
used in high-speed machinery and in precision equipment, while the heavier grades are used in low-speed
machinery with high hydrostatic pressures.
AGIP OSO products are recommended not only for use as hydraulic fluids but also as heavy-duty lubricants
for bearings, reduction units, etc., where operating conditions call for special antiwear characteristics.
They can be adopted, too, where savings can be made by using a reduced number of grades throughout a
plant.
The oils are designed for energy transmission in plants requiring the use of a hydraulic fluid. The oils
also provide adequate lubrication by creating a strong lubricant film which withstands high loads
between the sliding parts of high-pressure hydraulic systems.
AGIP OSO oils have very good antiwear properties, as illustrated by typical test results:
* vane and ring wear in the Vickers test around 35 mg;
* the higher grades (OSO 46-150) passes the 12th stage of the FZG test, while,
the lowerest grades passes the 11th.
They have extremely good oxidation resistance and stability even when subjected to unusually high
thermal stresses; this property minimizes sludge and deposit formation, thus preventing blocking of
ports, valves and controls, while guaranteeing that the oil remains properly fluid. Maintenance costs
are therefore reduced and the useful service life of the oil is extended.
The high Viscosity Index of all grades minimizes changes in viscosity throughout the normal range of
operating temperatures, thus ensuring constant flow, low friction loss and good hydraulic efficiency,
while protecting against the possibility of cavitation.
They have a low pour point which allows easy start-up of hydraulic equipment even at low
temperatures, without circulation or regulation problems.
Their outstanding anticorrosion and antirust properties inhibit the oxidation of internal surfaces of
hydraulic circuits and therefore prevent operating difficulties and breakdown of the oil caused by
metallic oxides that would otherwise form within the machinery.
Their good demulsibiliy prevents the formation of a stable emulsion between the oil and any water
which enters the system through leakage or condensation. The fluids therefore maintain their
lubricating power and anticorrosion performance even under these circumstances.
Their antifoam properties and their ready release of entrained air prevent difficulties with pumps and
controls which can cause irregularities in performance and other problems arising from the
compressibility of air bubbles.
They show a very high filtrability; they are suitable for very fine filters (3 micron up to ISO VG 68)
