because in its gaseous form it would be far too voluminous

What do you call machines that use fluid to transmit and increase force?
A machine that runs of of fluid is called a hydraulic.
Is hydraulic fluid very compressible?
There are various forms of hydraulic fluids out there. Some are, some are not.
Why can't a gas be used in a hydraulic pipe instead of a liquid?
gasses can compress, so a hydraulic pipe would be useless. In fact, the hydraulic pipe was invented just for water, hence the "hydra" part. Liquids cannot compress, instead they push out, so they are great for machines ( like brake fluid).
How much does one fluid once weight?
A fluid ounce of what liquid? Liquid Mercury or liquid Hydrogen the molecular weight of the liquid can be quite different. Is the liquid being measured at room temperature and pressure?
Would a hydraulic hoist still work as well if the fluid was replaced with air?
No, air is compressible, hydraulic fluid is not. It would be analogous to trying to use a giant rubber band instead of a steel crowbar to pry things apart!
How does hydraulic machine work?
Hydraulic machinery uses a liquid usually oil under pressure to transmit energy, hydraulic machine use the power of fluid to work, hydraulic machine are part of our everyday life.
What happens if you are low on hydraulic fluid?
If you are running low on hydraulic fluid, it could keep your machine from working properly. If the fluid is extremely low, it could cause permanent damage to the machine.
Is one hydraulic fluid better then another hydraulic fluid?
yes, their are many types of hydraulic oils, for different specificate duties machine,s apply to.
Force for the hydraulic system?
Pressurized fluid (hydraulic oil, water or some other liquid) provides the force in a hydraulic system.
What do you call machines that use fluid to transmit and increase force?
A machine that runs of of fluid is called a hydraulic.
How do you add hydraulic fluid to backhoe?
Depends on which machine, I drove many and do remember they all had an easily accessible hydraulic tank.
Why hydraulic breaks known as hydraulic?
Because they are actuated by fluid pressure, rather than pneumatic (air) pressure.
What is a hydraulic drive system?
A hydraulic drive system is a transmission system. This system uses hydraulic fluid that has been pressurized to make a machine work. Most of these systems utilize hydraulic cylinders.
Will it harm the hydraulic system if I use a hydraulic fluid instead of hydraulic oil?
Hydraulic fluid is hydraulic oil.... as for the type you use, depends on your system. I used to own two tractor-trailer end dumps, and I actually used ATF rather than hydraulic oil. Check with the OEM for your hydraulic system before you do this, though.
Can you replace universal tractor fluid for iso 68 hydraulic fluid?
It depends on the machine you are putting it in. Some are more viscosity/climate sensitive. For the majority of tractors where the transmission and hydraulic fluid are in the same reservoir the universal will work fine.
What is a system drive?
A hydraulic drive system is a transmission system. This system uses hydraulic fluid that has been pressurized to make a machine work. Most of these systems utilize hydraulic cylinders.
Can I use hydraulic fluid for a substitute for hydraulic oil in a bobcat skid-steer?
Hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil are one in the same.
