The object o this test was to evaluate the low temperature field performance of an all-weather hydraulic brake fluid. This report covers the results of Arctic tests at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. New brake cylinders were packaged with the all-weather brake fluid and installed on 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton and 5-ton facility vehicles; all-weather brake fluid was placed in the brake systems; the vehicles were then placed in normal facility operation during the period of 12 Decem ber 1962 to 1 March 1963. Eleven of the 14 vehicles were parked outside during the test period. The all-weather brake fluid performed satisfactorily in all vehicles. (Author)
