Hydraulic fluid expansion rates...

[Will Carter]

Anybody know the expansion rate of hydraulic fluid or ATF per temperature change?

Google is not cooperating today...

What do you need this number for? What are you trying to calculate? I'd assume your designing for some reservoir size.

What are you trying to calculate?

How much hydraulic fluid will expand at a given temperature increase...


Doing a little figurin' on a hydro steering setup...no reservoir concerns though...

Do you know the ratio?

Let me see if I can dig out one of my books (if it's even here at the house.)
