Pour point
point . The pour point cannot be used to assess the characteristics at low temperatures of pressure fluids based on vegetable oil. This is because time is a factor here, as well as temperature.
Overload protection
Overload protection helps secure the system against excessive operating pressures. In fluid technology, the overload protection is provided by the working method of the pressure-limiting valve, which starts
Gear pump
The gear pump is a machine for conveying fluids in accordance with the Positive displacement principle . In principle it consists of three components: a housing with inlet and outlet and two gear wheels
Flow force
A flowing fluid exerts flow forces in the case of changes to the speed and/or direction, which are particularly noticeable on the control pistons (control spools) of directional valves . They increase
Bar
Unit for pressure: 1 bar = 105 N/m2 The unit "bar" is frequently used in modern fluid technology, as that way the traditional numerical values can still be used for pressures. In SI units the unit "pascal"
Force multiplication ratio
Since the pressure in a fluid is the same at every point (laws of hydraulics), the force generated is solely dependent on the size of the area on which the pressure is acting. It is possible therefore
Wear protection capacity
Reflects the ability of a hydraulic fluid to reduce mechanical wear on moving parts of a hydraulic system which it comes into contact with. To improve the wear protection capacity, wear protection agents
Bursting pressure
Static pressure at which a pipe or pipe connection is destroyed such that hydraulic fluid escapes (DIN 24 312). This definition should also be applied to the filter bursting pressure for the filter housing
Viscosity index (VI)
Characterises the Viscosity/temperature characteristic of a fluid. The smaller the change in viscosity with respect to temperature, the higher the VI (CETOP RP 100). The VI is mathematically calculated
Acoustic decoupling measures
to downstream components that are capable of oscillating (passive sound generators, e.g. hydraulic fluid containers). They constitute a key component of secondary measures for reducing noise. A distinction
