If liquid is not compressible, why do we need special hydraulic fluid? Why not just use water?
In: Engineering
Everything is compressible under enough pressure. Hydraulic fluid turns solid at high pressures. At work we need to uses ethylene glycol by 100ksi and white gas to get to 200ksi.
As other have said there are issues with water and temperature as well as the fact that it corrodes many materials
