CW-15 Red Hydraulic Instrument Fluid & Crown Clear Gauge Fluid
Reliable Protection for Critical Hydraulic & Gauge Instrumentation
In demanding oilfield and drilling environments, precision is not optional, it is essential. CW-15 Red Hydraulic Instrument Fluid and Crown Clear Instrument (Gauge) Fluid are engineered to ensure accurate pressure transmission, protect sensitive instruments, and extend the operational life of gauges and hydraulic systems.
Designed specifically for hydraulic instrumentation systems used in oil & gas operations, marine applications, and industrial facilities, these fluids deliver consistent performance even under extreme operating conditions.
CW-15 Red Hydraulic Instrument Fluid
Replacement for W15 MD Totco Fluid
CW-15 is a high-performance hydraulic instrument fluid formulated to maintain measurement accuracy while protecting critical instrumentation components.
Key Features & Benefits
Accurate Pressure Transmission
CW-15 efficiently transmits pressure through fluid-filled hydraulic hoses, ensuring precise readings of:
- Pressure
- Torque
- Weight
This makes it ideal for hydraulic weight indicators, torque gauges, pressure gauges, and recording instruments.
Protection Against Wear & Corrosion
Oilfield environments expose instruments to moisture, vibration, and contaminants. CW-15:
- Prevents internal rust formation
- Minimizes component wear
- Protects against corrosion
Restores System Performance
If air becomes trapped in the hydraulic line, system accuracy may decline. Properly bleeding the system and replenishing with fresh CW-15 fluid restores correct operation and reliable readings.
High Operating Reliability
Engineered for harsh field conditions, CW-15 maintains consistent performance in extreme temperatures and high-vibration drilling environments.
Available Packaging
- 1 Gallon
- 1 Quart
Price: ₹10,000 per gallon + 18% GST
Crown Clear Instrument (Gauge) Fluid
Designed to protect pressure gauges and weight indicators from the harsh realities of oilfield operations.
Key Features & Benefits
Dampens Pointer Fluctuations
The fluid absorbs pulsations and mechanical shock, resulting in:
- Steadier readings
- Reduced vibration damage
- Improved measurement stability
Cushions Internal Components
Rig vibrations can damage delicate gauge mechanisms. Crown Clear Instrument Fluid acts as a protective cushion, reducing internal wear and extending gauge life.
Heat & Moisture Protection
When sealed inside a gauge:
- Prevents moisture ingress
- Reduces condensation damage
- Helps maintain cooler internal temperatures
Reduced Downtime & Maintenance Costs
By minimizing premature instrument failure, this fluid:
- Extends service intervals
- Reduces replacement frequency
- Lowers operational costs
Available Packaging

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is CW-15 used for?
CW-15 is used in hydraulic instrumentation systems to transmit pressure accurately and protect gauges and sensors from corrosion and wear.
2. Is CW-15 a replacement for W15 MD Totco Fluid?
Yes, CW-15 is designed as a compatible replacement for W15 MD Totco Fluid.
3. Why is bleeding required in hydraulic systems?
Air trapped in hydraulic lines can cause inaccurate readings. Bleeding removes air pockets and restores proper fluid pressure transmission.
4. What happens if air enters the hydraulic hose?
Air compresses differently than fluid, causing inconsistent or inaccurate instrument readings.
5. Can Crown Clear Instrument Fluid reduce gauge vibration?
Yes. It dampens pulsations and mechanical shock, resulting in steadier readings.
6. Does the clear gauge fluid prevent corrosion?
Yes. It helps protect internal components from moisture, rust, and corrosion.
7. Is this fluid suitable for offshore environments?
Yes. Both fluids are suitable for harsh offshore and drilling environments.
8. What packaging sizes are available?
CW-15 is available in gallon and quart packaging. Clear Instrument Fluid is available in quart and gallon packaging.
9. How often should hydraulic instrument fluid be replaced?
Replacement depends on operating conditions. If contamination or air intrusion occurs, the system should be serviced and refilled.
10. Does the fluid improve gauge life?
Yes. By reducing wear, vibration impact, and moisture damage, it significantly extends instrument life.
11. Is the fluid compatible with gauge savers and sensors?
Yes. It is specifically designed for use with gauge savers, sensors, and hydraulic measurement systems.
12. Where can I purchase these fluids?
They are available directly from KKD Marine & Industrial Supplies.
