Static O-ring
29
what type of piston rings should you use when no cylinder creep can be tolerated?
Non-metallic
30
what is the basic purpose of an accumulator?
Adds fluid when more is needed in the system
31
name three additional purposes of an accumulator
Dampens pulsations Absorb shock Allows for thermal expansion
32
what safety precaution must you take when there is an accumulator in the system?
Ensure the accumulator is depressurized
33
name three unloading methods for an accumulator

36
When is the precharge put into an accumulator?
when it is empty
37
What is the main disadvantage of gas or spring type accumulators?
It cannot maintain constant pressure
38
name three advantages of spring type accumulator
Compact Operate in any position No pre-charge needed
39
why are air and oxygen not used in gas filled accumulators ?
Can cause explosion if it comes in contact with oil
40
What is an accumulator?
A vessel that store is pressurized fluid, then adds fluid to the system when fluid is needed
41
What are backup rings used for?

why do dynamic seals allow for some leakage
For lubrication
46
what functions does the hydraulic oil perform other than transmitting power?
Lubricates Seals Carries away heat Flushes contaminants
47
What are the two major classes of seals used in rotary pumps and what do they do?

48
What are four harmful products of oxidization in hydraulic fluid?
gum Varnish Sludge Acids
49
what is the main cause of oxidation in hydraulic fluid
Heat
