307 Flashcards
which characteristics of a fluid does a term specific gravity describe
density
pressure is measured in ___ in the english system
pounds per square inch
which of the following is not needed in order to calculate the work a hydraulic cylinder can do
power (ft-lb/min)
pascals law states that pressure exerted on a confined liquid
is distributed equally throughout the liquid
according to Bernoulli’s principal when fluid flow increases in a system the pressure
decreases
a hydraulic fluid must be able to do all of the following except
compress easily
a hydraulic fluid that exhibits little change in viscosity when heated is said to have a high
viscosity index
the ability of fluid to penetrate into small clearances between closely fitted parts is determined by the fluids
viscosity
which of the following when added to hydraulic fluid will limit oxidation
a chemical inhibitor
the best method of controlling hydraulic fluid contamination is the use of
good maintenance procedure
the ability of a filter or strainer to remove 100% of the containment particles of a particular size from a hydraulic fluid is called its
absolute rating
when the maximum allowable pressure drop of a filter is reached the filter will
allow particles to pass through the medium
the purpose of a filler in a hydraulic system is to
remove small contaminants
depth fillers do not
have a long service life
surface filter media made of sintered metal powders are used in high pressure systems because of their
thick mass
the seperation of contaminants from hydraulic fluid in a reservoir is added by
slow fluid movement
what is used in a hydraulic reservoir to aid fluid cooling
baffle
to maintain the temperature of a hydraulic fluid effectively the reservoir should have
thin walls
an air breather is installed on a fluid reservoir to
vent the reservoir
peak hydraulic system demands are usually met by the use of a(n)
accumulator
