Applications

 N/A Manufacturing and Industrial Hydraulic Systems - Shell Tellus S3 M 46 is suitable for a wide range of hydraulic power applications found in manufacturing and industrial environments.

Severe Duty Hydraulic Service - The long-life characteristics of Shell Tellus S3 M 46 can make it particularly suitable for severe duty (e.g. load, temperature) applications or where extended life is required (e.g. remote or inaccessible locations).

Marine and Mobile Hydraulic Systems - Shell Tellus S3 M 46 is suitable for marine and mobile applications here ISO HM type hydraulic fluids are recommended.

Low Toxicity Towards the Environment - Shell Tellus S3 M 46 has a reduced environmental impact in the event of a leak or accidental spillage compared to conventional zinc-based hydraulic fluids. This is achieved through the use of zinc-free anti-wear technology and low sulfur base oils. Shell Tellus S3 M 46 is classified as "not harmful" to freshwater and marine invertibrates when tested as water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD and EPA test guidelines.

For applications that experience wide temperature variations, we recommend the Shell Tellus "V" series or hydraulic fluids.

Features and Benefits

 N/A Long Fluid Life - Maintenance Saving - Shell Tellus S3 M 46 offers an improved capacity to extend fluid maintenance intervals and hence reduce equipment downtime through:
  • An extended ASTM D943 TOST lifetime, with an oxidative stability that is designed for a minimum 5000 hours TOST life.
  • Excellent resistance to breakdown in the presence of water and heat.
  • These features provide extended maintenance capability without compromising protection or performance, even under severe or extended temperature range applications.

Outstanding Wear Protection - Advanced zinc-free anti-wear additives provide protection over a wide range of conditions, including low and severe duty, and high load operations. This protection has been demonstrated in tough industry standard hydraulic pump tests such as Denison T6C and Eaton Vickers 35VQ25.

Maintaining System Efficiency - Superior cleanliness and filterability; coupled with excellent water separation, air release and anti-foam characteristics,, all help to maintain or enhance hydraulic system efficiency. The filterability of Shell Tellus S3 M 46 is maintained even when the fluid is contaminated with water. Shell Tellus S3 M 46 has an ISO 4406 cleanliness of 21/19/16 or better excluding Shell filling lines. As recognixed by DIN 51524 specification, the oil is exposed to various influences with transport and storage that could affect the cleanliness level.

Note

 N/A Compatibility - Shell Tellus S3 M 46 is suitable for use with most hydraulic pumps.

Fluid Compitability - Shell Tellus S3 M 46 is compatible with most other mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. However, mineral oil hydraulic fludis should not be mixed with other fluid types (e.g. environmentally acceptable or fire resistant fluids).
