Is MEHF a specification or standard required by OEMs?
No, MEHF is a performance level definition that can be used by OEMs, equipment builders, fluid marketers and operators to describe, request or promote a fluid that has been formulated to provide excellent pump efficiency. MEHF performance is currently not a formal requirement in any OEM specification or regional standard. Products which meet the MEHF performance level definition can be formulated to meet the major global specifications. Consult your preferred fluid supplier for their guidance on total product performance. 4. What is TOW? TOW is an acronym for Temperature Operating Window developed by the NFPA (National Fluid Power Association). It describes the temperature range over which a fluid can be used to meet OEM maximum-minimum viscosity requirements. When fluid viscosity goes outside of the TOW due to cold ambient temperatures or demanding operating conditions, poor performance or pump damage is likely.
