👉 A quarter fluid, often abbreviated as QF, is a specialized liquid used in various industrial and scientific applications, primarily in the oil and gas industry, but also in chemical processing, electronics manufacturing, and other fields. It is a colorless, viscous liquid that typically contains additives to enhance its performance, such as anti-wear agents, corrosion inhibitors, and detergents. The fluid's composition is carefully formulated to meet specific requirements, including viscosity, density, and thermal stability, making it suitable for use in pumps, injection systems, and other equipment where consistent flow and lubrication are crucial. The term "quarter fluid" refers to its standard size, usually 1/4 inch in diameter and 3/8 inch deep, which facilitates easy handling and precise application in industrial processes.
