25
What is a variable pump
A pump which can change out put
26
What pump can be fixed and variable
A vane pump
27
What is an open loop hydraulic circuit
It is from reservoir to reservoir
28
What is a closed loop system
It has no reservoir the oil is always stuck in one system
29
What is the minimum volumetric efficacy a pump should be giving out
60 percent
30
What is a closed centre system
A system which doesn’t drive all the time
31
What is cavitation
Where demand exceeds supply and small vacuum pockets where molecules split and stretch causing pitting due to lack of oil and formed
32
What is aeration and how do you find it
It is when air gets into a system causing sponginess , foam and bubbling this can be found by finding the hole using oil and seeing it bubble
33
What is swash plate cavitation
It is where demand exceeds supply and it runs the plate dry or low on oil causing lack of oil and therefore pitting on components
34
How do you know how efficient a hydraulic pump is being
Check the rating if the spec is 20 gpm and the pump is giving out 16 it is 80 percent efficient If it is low check filters and oil to perhaps improve efficacy
35
What is a pressure control device and what does it do
It limits maximum pressure, provides redirection of pump flow when it must be maintained ( unloading ) It also provides redirection while not maintained ( off loading ) Alternate flow for pressure seqencing Reduce or step down pressure for a sub circuit
36
What is an example of a pressure control device
Relif valve / unloding valve / pressure seqencing valve / pressure reducing valve / counter balance valve
37
What is cracking pressure
It is the pressure needed to overcome the spring to release oil
38
What is a compound relief valve
2 relif valves in 1 one small one big to allow for surges
39
What is a sequencing valve
It is a pressure relief valve which allows a next circuit to work after that one has pressurised
40
What is a pressure reducing device
It is a device which always ensures pressure is correct for a component
41
What is a counter balance valve
Allows rhe system to be smooth and predictable with unexpected loads, using a solenoid , it is variable
42
Why would you use nitrogen in an accumulator
Because it is inert and safe
43
What does an attenuator do
It reduces noise and pulses through a system
44
What makes a cylinder non differential
It means it can put more force outward than inward due to surface area of cylinder
45
What is the difference between a ram and cylinder
A ram is bigger than 50 percent of the housing
46
How would you know a pilot check valve is broken
It will creep as valve should block flow until other is opened
47
What is drift rate
It is how fast a cylinder will drop if left with load on it
48
What is cycle time
It is how long it takes for a ram to power out and retract
49
What is the iso number for hydraulic oil cleanliness
4406
50
What are 2 simple checks for a hydraulic front loader
Drift rate and cycle time
51
What way do the arrows face on a oil cooler
Facing out
52
When referring to a planetary gear transmission how could Infinitely variable gear range be achieved
By adding a hydraulic motor and pump
53
How is direct drive achieved in a planetary carrier
Locking 2 components together
54
How is reverse achieved in a planetary gear set
Holding the planetary carrier
55
What is a hydraulic filter clearance
5 ųm
56
What is a hydraulic system clearance
5 to 13 microns

What can hydraulic injection cause
Gangrene
58
What does hydrostatic mean
It is a non mechanical connection

What are priority circuits
It is the circuits which have a ranking order of oil supply 1 is brakes and safety features 2 is suspension 3 is scv less needed stuff
60
What are 3 types of accumulator
Gas, sprung and weighted
61
What are the oil pressure ratings
Red is high pressure pink is low Blue is no pressure Green is trapped oil
62
What is the percentage of oil which is air
10 percent
63
What does flow across an orifice cause
A pressure drop in that area
64
What does margin pressure refer to on an ls system
It is the pressure range of which the pump can operate
65
When inspecting a system you notice an o ring has gone slimy and soft what could this suggest
The wrong oil is being used
66
If a hydraulic ram has been removed and the ram has shown signs of wear on one side what will this suggest
The pivot point is siezed
67
Constant flow rate into a smaller diameter pipe what happens ?
It will increase velocity
68
What is created by resistance to flow
Resistance
69
What does 2 / 3 mean for a hydraulic circuit
2 boxes/ ports and 3 ways for oil to travel
70
10 um is equal to?
0.001
71
What is more efficant turbulent flow or laminar
Laminar due to no heat loss / wasted work

What is a compound relief valve
It is 2 valves in one one is to keep pressure constant one is for big surges

What is a check valve
Allows fluid to go one way
