![]() However this work has demonstrated the feasibility of using groundnut oil as a hydraulic fluid. L 0.8353Y2 + 14.67 216 ( 1 ) H 0.1684Y2 + 11.85 - 97 ( 2 ) Where : L kinematic viscosity, in c St ( m m 2 / s ), at 40 C of an oil of zero ( 0 ). The low temperature flow property (pour point) is the only result that does not meet ISO specification with-3 o C but can be handled by addition of cold flow property depressant (additive). The result showed a good peroxide value and iodine value from oil sample. The flash point (249.1 o C), the fire point (255.2 o C), acid value (0.3942mg (KOH)/g) all exceed the ISO specification. ![]() The result showed that the viscosity at 40 o C and 100 o C are 34.1mm 2 /s and 7.08mm 2 /s which exceeded the international standard organization (ISO) specification of (12-100) mm 2 /s and 5mm 2 /s for 40 o C and 100 o C respectively. The key steps will be to experiment the viscosity of groundnut oil at 40 o C and 100 o C respectively, specific gravity, viscosity index, acid value, Pour point, flash point, fire point, peroxide and iodine value using refined groundnut oil as sample. ![]() Benchmark tests and experiment were carried out to ascertain the physio-chemical property of groundnut oil. ![]() This study is set out to ascertain the suitability of groundnut oil as a hydraulic fluid.
