👉 Handling fluids, also known as hydraulic fluids, are specialized lubricants used in mechanical systems to facilitate smooth and efficient operation. These fluids are designed to minimize friction between moving parts, reduce wear, and dissipate heat generated during operation. They come in various viscosities and formulations, tailored to specific applications, such as engine oil for internal combustion engines or gear fluid for industrial machinery. Handling fluids are typically stored in sealed containers to prevent contamination from water, air, or debris, and must be regularly checked for contamination, viscosity changes, and signs of degradation to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the equipment they lubricate.
