FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1030

Which characteristic is associated with petroleum base hydraulic fluid?

Non-flammable under normal conditions

Green color

High flash point

Flammable under normal conditions

Petroleum base hydraulic fluids have a low flash point, which means they have the potential to catch fire if exposed to high temperatures or an open flame. This is why they are considered flammable under normal conditions and are not safe for use in certain industries, such as aviation. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they describe characteristics that are associated with other types of hydraulic fluids (such as synthetic or water-based fluids) and do not accurately describe petroleum-based fluids.
