Brake Fluid Water Content?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the water content in brake fluid is below 1%. If it is too high, it will lower the boiling point of the brake fluid, causing the fluid to boil and vaporize during high-intensity braking, leading to brake failure. When the water content in brake fluid reaches 3%, the boiling point of the brake fluid will decrease by 25%. If the water content reaches 7-8%, the boiling point of the brake fluid will drop by more than 50%. Related information about brake fluid is as follows: Introduction to Brake Fluid: Brake fluid is also known as hydraulic brake fluid. The water content in brake fluid has a certain limit, and when it exceeds this limit, the brake fluid must be replaced promptly. Brake fluid inherently absorbs moisture, and water from the air can seep in through the vent holes of the brake fluid reservoir. Over time, this can cause the water content in the brake fluid to exceed the standard. Function of Brake Fluid: It effectively lubricates the moving parts of the braking system, extending the service life of brake calipers and rubber cups.
