Foreword
Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) is a parastatal under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives established under Cap 327, of the Laws of Uganda, as amended. UNBS is mandated to co-ordinate the elaboration of standards and is
(a) a member of International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and
(b) a contact point for the WHO/FAO Codex Alimentarius Commission on Food Standards, and
(c) the National Enquiry Point on TBT Agreement of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
The work of preparing Uganda Standards is carried out through Technical Committees. A Technical Committee is established to deliberate on standards in a given field or area and consists of key stakeholders including government, academia, consumer groups, private sector and other interested parties.
Draft Uganda Standards adopted by the Technical Committee are widely circulated to stakeholders and the general public for comments. The committee reviews the comments before recommending the draft standards for approval and declaration as Uganda Standards by the National Standards Council.
The committee responsible for this document is Technical Committee UNBS/TC 16, Petroleum, Subcommittee SC 1 Petroleum and Petrochemical
DUS 2159 consists of the following parts, under the general title Hydraulic Lubricating Fluid — Performance Classifications:

Hydraulic fluid — Performance Classifications — Part 3: Specifications for hydraulic fluids in categories HFAE, HFAS, HFB, HFC, HFDR and HFDU
1 Scope
This Draft Uganda Standard specifies performance requirements, sampling and test methods for unused fire-resistant and less-flammable hydraulic fluids of the categories HFAE, HFAS, HFB, HFC, HFDR and HFDU, and is intended for hydrostatic and hydrodynamic systems in general industrial applications
Note: It is not intended for use in aerospace or power-generation applications, where different requirements apply
Types HFAE, HFAS, HFB, HFC and HFDR are “fire-resistant” fluids as defined by DUS 2159-1:2019. Most HFDU fluids, while displaying an improvement in combustion behaviour over mineral oil, fall outside this definition and are more appropriately considered “less-flammable” fluids.

a These products are normally supplied as concentrates and are diluted with water by the end user. To ensure the rapid and complete mixing of the finished
fluid, the viscosity of the concentrate at 20 °C should be 350 mm2/s maximum.
b The limits given in this table can be applied at the dilution recommended by the supplier when using water selected from one of the following sources:
1. test waters listed in ISO 4404-1 and in ISO 20783-1; or
2. distilled or de-ionized water; or
3. mains water supplied by the user.
Tests should be carried out before commercial use and the results, if reported, shall indicate the type of (test) water and the dilution level used.
C The viscosity of these fluids is very low and they may be used only in equipment especially designed for such products.
d As a result of their very high water content, these fluids are expected to possess excellent fire resistance.
e Test limits are be negotiated between the supplier and the user.
f NBR 1, EPDM 1 and FKM 2 are standard reference elastomers, the compositions of which are given in ISO 6072. They are the elastomer types most
widely used, but not exclusively so, with the above fluids. While providing a useful guide to compatibility with HFAE and HFAS fluids, they can give results
that are different from commercially available rubbers of the same nominal type. If doubt exists as to their compatibility, contact the elastomer manufacturer.

h Report only on request.
i ISO 6296 covers the mass fraction range 0,003 % (m/m) to 0,100 % (m/m). To use ISO 6296 to measure the water content of HFAS fluids, proceed as
follows:
— use a 100 µl syringe to take the test sample;
— dry the 100 µl syringe as described in ISO 6296:2000, 7.2.3;
— withdraw a 50 µl to 100 µl sample and titrate in accordance with ISO 6296:2000, 7.2.5.
Note that the precision of this procedure may differ from the values given in ISO 6296.

b ISO 6296 covers the mass fraction range 0,003 % (m/m) to 0,100 % (m/m). To use ISO 6296 to measure the water content of HFC fluids, proceed as
follows:
— use a 100 µl syringe to take the test sample;
— dry the 100 µl syringe as described in ISO 6296:2000, 7.2.3;
— withdraw a 50 µl to 100 µl sample and titrate in accordance with ISO 6296:2000, 7.2.5.
Note that the precision of this procedure may differ from the values given in ISO 6296.
c For fluids with a viscosity greater than 10 mm2/s at 20 °C.
d NBR 1 is a standard reference elastomer, the composition of which is given in ISO 6072. It is the type of elastomer most widely used with the above
fluids, but not exclusively so. It provides a useful guide to the compatibility of this seal type with HFB and HFC fluids, but can give results that are different
from commercially available elastomers of the same nominal type. If doubt exists as to the compatibility, contact the elastomer manufacturer.
eThe methods published as parts of ISO 15029 (see also Annex A) measure different fluid characteristics under conditions that are not necessarily
comparable. However, performance under at least one test condition is required. The method is therefore to be agreed between the end user and the fluid
supplier in accordance with national or other requirements. ISO/TS15029-2 is currently under development and limits have not yet been established. These
are to be agreed between the end user and the fluid supplier. Where data are reported, reference shall be made to the method used.
f The test duration is 200 h.
g In view of the non-availability of test cartridges from the original supplier, new sources are currently being investigated. As yet, no precision data are
available on the alternative cartridges when testing the above fluid types and no limits can, therefore, be specified. Until these data are available, it is
recommended that the limits previously specified in ISO 20763 be used for guidance only. For HFC fluids, this means a vane and ring mass loss of 50 mg
and 180 mg, respectively.

a These fluids are supplied as the finished product.
b The higher temperature indicates the approximate upper limit for short-term operation. This will depend upon whether the application is hydrostatic or
hydrodynamic and, for HFDU fluids, on the chemical composition of the fluid. Where doubt exists, clarification should be sought from the equipment
manufacturer and/or fluid supplier.
c ISO 20764 is applied in instances where interference by certain chemicals is to be avoided
d EPDM 1, FKM 2, NBR 1 and NBR 2 are standard reference elastomers, the compositions of which are given in ISO 6072. They are the elastomer
types most widely used with the above fluids, but not exclusively so. They will provide a useful guide to compatibility with HFDR and HFDU fluids, but may
give results that are different from commercially available elastomers of the same nominal type. EPDM 1 and FKM 2 are normally suitable for use with HFDR
fluids with the exception of the combination of FKM 2 and alkyl phosphate esters. The NBR 1 and NBR 2 reference elastomers are not suitable for use with
HFDR fluids and NBR 1 might not be suitable for use with all HFDU fluids. If doubt exists as to their compatibility, contact the elastomer manufacturer.
e The methods published as parts of ISO 15029 (see also Annex A) measure different fluid characteristics under conditions that are not necessarily
comparable. However, performance under at least one test condition is required. The method is therefore to be agreed between the end user and the fluid
supplier in accordance with national or other requirements. ISO/TS 15029-2 is currently under development and limits have not yet been established. These
are to be agreed between the end user and the fluid supplier. Where data are reported, reference shall be made to the method used.
f In view of the non-availability of test cartridges from the original supplier, new sources are currently being investigated. As yet, no precision data are
available for alternative cartridges and therefore no limits can be specified. Until these data are available, it is recommended that the limits previously
specified in ISO 20763 be used for guidance only. For both HFDR and HFDU fluids this means a vane and ring weight loss of < 30 mg and < 120 mg,
respectively.
