Skydrol within Hydraulics Systems
We have extensive experience over many years using Skydrol within our Hydraulic systems for the Aerospace and Defence industries. Skydrol is a specialised hydraulic fluid commonly used in civilian aircraft. It’s use is particularly prominent in aircraft hydraulic systems due to its unique properties, which are designed to meet the demanding requirements of aviation environments. Skydrol is a vital hydraulic fluid known for its exceptional fire-resistant and low-density properties
Our hydraulic engineers have extensive experience & knowledge using phosphate ester hydraulic fluids such as Skydrol and Hyjet. They have been involved in:
- Designing and manufacture of bespoke Skydrol Test Rigs & HPUs.
- Regularly inspecting and maintenance of Skydrol Test Rigs & HPUs.
- Managing transitions between Skydrol grades (e.g., Skydrol 500B vs. LD-4), ensuring systems remain compliant with manufacturer and regulatory standards.
- Regular inspection of Fluid Cleanliness.

Our extensive experience with Skydrol isn’t just technical—it involves an ongoing commitment to safety. We understand the challenges working with Skydrol and keep safety at the forefront of the design process whilst working on any given project.
We partnered with Bell Hydraulics for a complex engineering project, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They not only met our expectations but exceeded them, finishing the project on time and within budget.
