What is specifications of GL rating for hydraulic fluids
ChatGPT
The GL rating for hydraulic fluids is not a standard or widely recognized term. However, you might be referring to the ISO viscosity grade or the AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) lubricant classification, which includes the GL (Gear Lubricant) ratings for gear oils. Gear lubricants are often used in hydraulic systems, especially in systems with hydraulic pumps and gears.
The AGMA GL ratings indicate the type of gears a lubricant is suitable for, and they are as follows:
If you have specific requirements for hydraulic fluids, it's recommended to check the equipment manufacturer's recommendations and consult the appropriate standards for hydraulic fluids in your industry.

The GL rating for hydraulic fluids is not a standard or widely recognized term. However, you might be referring to the ISO viscosity grade or the AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) lubricant classification, which includes the GL (Gear Lubricant) ratings for gear oils. Gear lubricants are often used in hydraulic systems, especially in systems with hydraulic pumps and gears.
The AGMA GL ratings indicate the type of gears a lubricant is suitable for, and they are as follows:
- GL-1: These are mild EP (Extreme Pressure) oils with additives suitable for lubrication of light-duty gears and bearings operating under low load conditions.
- GL-2: These oils are not typically used today. They were designed for worm gears operating under very mild conditions.
- GL-3: Suitable for moderate-duty, spur, helical, and bevel gears, as well as synchronized manual transmissions. They provide better protection against rust and corrosion compared to GL-1 oils.
- GL-4: Intended for spiral bevel and hypoid gears in automotive axles under moderate to severe conditions. They are also suitable for synchronized manual transmissions.
- GL-5: These oils are designed for severe-duty, high-speed, high-torque conditions, such as hypoid gears in automotive differentials. They typically contain EP additives for improved performance under extreme pressure.
- GL-6: Not commonly used today, GL-6 oils were designed for high-speed, heavily loaded hypoid gears. However, modern GL-5 oils often fulfill these requirements.
If you have specific requirements for hydraulic fluids, it's recommended to check the equipment manufacturer's recommendations and consult the appropriate standards for hydraulic fluids in your industry.
