Term
DEFINE HYDRAULICS
Definition
THE USE OF LIQUID PRESSURE AND FLOW TO TRANSMIT POWER OR MODIFY MOTION.
Term
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF HYDRAULICS?
Definition

-INSTANT REVERSIBILITY WITHOUT DAMAGEING COMPONENTS.

 

- HIGH -POWER OUTPUT WITH SMALL WEIGHT AND SIZE OF HYDR. COMPONENTS.

 

-FLUID POWER IS BETTER THAN MECHANICAL OVER MODERATE DISTANCES

-ACTUATORS CAN BE INSTALLED WITHOUT DAMAGE TO SYSTEM OR COMPONENTS.

  

Term
WHAT IS AN ACTUATOR?
Definition
A DEVICE THAT CONVERTS HYDRAULIC INTO MECHANICAL ENERGY.
Term
WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF HYDRAULICS?
Definition

-INSTALLATION AND COMPONENT REPLACEMENT ARE EXPENSIVE

 

-HYDR. FLUIDS ARE FLAMMABLE/ HAZARDOUS

 

-HYDR. FLUIDS OPERATE AT HIGH PRESSURES.

Term

WHAT ARE COMMON USES

FOR HYDR. FLUIDS?

 

Definition

-STEERING SYSTEMS

-BOOMS/CRANES

-WINCHES AND OTHER MACHINERY

-FIN STABILIZER SYSTEMS

-CONTOLLABLE PROPELLERS

Term
WHAT IS PASCAL'S THEORY ?
Definition

-FLUIDS ARE NEALRY INCOMPRESSIBLE

 

-FLUIDS ALWAYS TAKE THE SAPE OF THEIR CONTAINER. 

 

-CONFINED FLUIDS CAN BE USED TO TRANSMIT POWER, MULTIPLY FORCE, AND MODIFY MOTION.

Term
WHAT IS THE FORMULA TRIANGLE ?
Definition

[image]

 

FORCE= PRESSURE X AREA

PRESSURE=FORCE/AREA

AREA=FORCE/PRESSURE

Term
DEFINE AREA?
Definition

THE MEASURE OF A BOUNDED REGION OR PLANE.

 

USUALLY EXPRESSED IN SQUARE INCHES.

Term
DEFINE FORCE.
Definition

ANYTHING THAT TENDS TO PRODUCE OR MODIFY MOTION.

 

USUALLY EXPRESSED IN UNITS OF WEIGHT

Term
DEFINE PRESSURE.
Definition
FORCE PER UNIT AREA AND IS MEASURED IN POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH.
Term
WITH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WHAT CAUSES A PISTON ROD TO EXTEND?
Definition
PRESSURE ON THE CAP OR BLIND END.
Term
WITH HYDR. PRESSURE WHAT CAUSES A PISTON ROD TO RETRACT?
Definition
THE NET OR ROD END.
Term
HOW IS THE THE CAP END AREA OF A CYLINDER CALCULATED?
Definition

AREA = D2 .7854

D= DIMETER IN INCHES

Term
WHAT IS A LINEAR ACTUATOR?
Definition
A DEVICE FOR CONVERTING HYDRAULIC ENERGY INTO LINEAR MOTION (A CYLINDER OR RAM) 
Term
HOW DO YOU CALCULATE FORCE?
Definition
PRESSURE X AREA
Term
EXPLAINE MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE FOR A LEVER.
Definition
A 10LB BLOCK SUPPORTING A 100LB BLOCK WITH THE USE OF A FULCRUM(PIVOT POINT) 
Term
EXPLAINE THE HYDRULIC ADVANTAGE.
Definition

WHEN PRESSURE ADDED TO ONE PISTON, THROUGH HYDRAULIC FLIUD,  WEIGHT WILL BE LIFTED HEAVIER THAN THE INITIAL PRESSURE.

 

 10LB            =          100LB    

1 IN SQ                    10 IN. SQ            

 

Term
ISO CODE 1219-2
Definition

-ESTABLISHES PRINCIPLES FOR THE USE OF SYMBOLS FOR HYDRAULICS.

 

-SPECIFIES BASIC SYMBOLS AND RULES FOR FUNCTIONAL SYMBOLS.  

Term

Term
WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN A HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS COMPONENS ARE LINKED TO MAKE A WORKING SYSTEM?
Definition
A CIRCUIT
Term
WHAT ARE THE TWO TYPES OF HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS?
Definition
 OPEN LOOP AND CLOSED LOOP.
Term
HOW DO YOU CHECK IF A A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IS DEPRESSURIZED WITHOUT A GAUGE?
Definition
SLOW CRACK OPEN THE FITTINGS AND CHECK FOR PRESSURE.
