17
Q

valve installed on discharge of motor to prevent overspeeding when an overruning load is applied

A

brake valve

18
Q

internal/external pilot on brake valve allows oil to pass to start the load

A

internal

19
Q

internal/external pilot on brake valve stops the load from overruning

A

external

20
Q

flow path on DCV are called

A

ways

21
Q

valve position used for single acting cylinder, also to divert flow

A

3 way, 2 position

22
Q

DCV used to operate flows above 20-25 GPM

A

pilot operated DCV, or piggy back DCV

23
Q

pilot operated valve direct fluid to main valve at this PSI

A

75-100

24
Q

spool center locks cylinder but also allows pump to supply other valves

A

tandem center

25
Q

spool center shuts off pump flow but allows motors to coast freely without stopping it suddenly

A

float center or motor center

26
Q

check valve poppet used to handle higher flows

A

poppet style

27
Q

check valve poppet used to handler smaller flows

A

ball style

28
Q

check valve able to handle 3 times the flow

A

right angle check valve

29
Q

check valve commonly used to ensure accumulator is depressurized when pump is shut down

A

pilot to close

30
Q

3 flow control methods

A

meter in
meter out
bleed off

31
Q

metering method best used to push a load

A

meter in

32
Q

metering method best used to provide positive control for runnaway loads

A

meter out

33
Q

metering method most energy effiencient, does not provide accurate control or control for runaway loads

A

bleed off

34
Q

pressure compensators are also called

A

hydrostat

35
Q

2 types of pressure compensator

A

bypass

restrictor

36
Q

pressure compensator used in meter in only

can replace main relief valve

A

bypass compensator

37
Q

pressure compensator able to be used in meter in and meter out application

A

restrictor pressure
