17
Q

viscosity index (VI) of oil is defined as?

A

Stability of an oil viscosity over a temperature range

18
Q

Under what condition do you need a heater in a reservoir

What is the main cause of oxidation in hydraulic fluid

A

Heat

21
Q

List the 4 harmful products of oxidation in hydraulic fluid

A

Varnish
Gum
Sludge
Acid

22
Q

In an open circuit how much larger must the reservoir be compared to the size of the pump.

A

2 to 3 times larger

23
Q

What is a breather used for

A

It allows air flow in and out of the reservoir

24
Q

A inlet filter of a size of 100 micron is used for what?

A

100 micron filter is used to remove large contaminants

25
Q

In a water cooler (shell and tube heat exchanger) the symbols for cooling, heating or a combination of the two look like what?

A

Arrows point outward for cooling

In-ward for heating

And the same direction for heat and cooling

26
Q

Is a closed reservoir that’s sealed from the atmospheres pressure, below or above atmospheric pressure

A

Above 1-3psi

27

4u 6u 14u

# of Microns in a milliner sample 
- lower is cleaner
28
Q

What is the main cause of cavitation

A

Reduced inlet flow

29
Q

You have installed a flow meter in the return line of a circuit you notice the flow fluctuating as you actuate the DCV

This is due to

A

Measuring return flow of cylinder

30
Q

Which control system for the proportional DCV uses a linear displacement transducer to compare the actual position of the actuator to the set position

A

Closed outer loop

31
Q

What are the four basic test instruments required for trouble shooting a hydraulic system

A

Pressure gauge
Flow meter
Tachometer
Thermometer

32
Q

To the set the speed of an actuator in a proportional DCV, what would you adjust on the amplifier card.

A

Ramp function

33
Q

If you adjust load sensing compensator on a pump what will you effect

A

Stand by pressure

34
Q

If you adjust the pressure limiting compensator on a pump what do you effect

A

Max operating pressure

35
Q

In the circus you have installed a set of pilot to open check valves to lock a horizontal cylinder

While testing the cylinder becomes hydraulically locked

A

The ratio of the pilot to open check is less than the ratio of the cylinder

36
Q

Hydraulic cylinder load won’t move, what is the cause of this.

A

Relief valve is set to low
