What is the term used to describe the use of pumped or compressed fluids (either liquids or gases) to provide force and motion to mechanisms?
Fluid power
What is the name for the pumps used to lift the shaft clear of the bearing surfaces of a turbine before torque is applied to turn the shaft?
Jacking pumps
In what types of systems would glycol, aromatic chemicals or synthetic oils be used?
Hot oil systems
What is the term used to designate a piece of railroad rolling stock designed to carry liquefied loads?
Tank car
What are the two (2) general types of floating roofs currently in use that are constructed of welded steel plate?
Pontoon or double-deck
A hydraulic pump is shown by using solid arrow heads inside a circle. What symbol would designate an air compressor?
Hollow arrow head
What is the purpose for using double-wall containment systems?
To protect the environment from the fluids that might leak from the piping system
What are the three (3) categories of symbols for hydraulic valves?
A) flow control valves
B) directional control valves
C) pressure control valves
What type of valve is commonly used for hydraulic control systems to manually control the rams?
Centered type spool valve
What type of pump is used to create the fluid flow in a hydraulic system?
Motor driven positive displacement pump
What mechanical process is used for the removal of water from a lubricating oil system?
Vacuum dehydration
What three (3) auxiliary systems use oil instead of water as a circulating fluid?
A) hydraulic oil systems
B) lube oil systems
C) hot oil heating
What type of pump is used as the main oil pump for circulating the oil for both lubrication and cooling purposes?
High volume, low head pump
What is a hot oil system?
Hot oil system is another name for a hydronic heating system that is using a fluid other than plain water for the heat transfer medium.
