Understand the performance of brake fluid

Summary:

Learn about brake fluid performance:

Because of its reliability, it is directly related to the reliability of brakes. Therefore, the selection of brake oil is related to the safety of riders and should not be taken lightly.

At present, there are a total of 14 specifications required, namely appearance, equilibrium reflux boiling point, wet equilibrium reflux boiling point, kinematic viscosity (100°C, -40°C), pH value, liquid stability, corrosion, low temperature fluidity and appearance, and evaporation performance. , water content, liquid compatibility, oxidation resistance, rubber compatibility, stroke simulation performance. 

The qualified brake fluid has several characteristics:

1. Ensure flexible transmission of braking force under conditions of high temperature, severe cold, high speed, hot and humid conditions;

2. Non-corrosive to metal and non-metal materials of braking system;

3. Can effectively lubricate the moving parts of the brake system to extend the service life of brake cylinders and cups.

The performance requirements for brake fluid are:

1, good viscosity and temperature, low freezing point, good low temperature fluidity;

2, high boiling point, no air resistance at high temperatures;

3. Little change in quality during use does not cause corrosion and deterioration of metal parts and rubber parts.
