Phosphate ester
Fire-resistant hydraulic fluid based on esters of phosphates. It belongs to the group known as HFD fluids ; its fire resistance is can be explained by its molecular structure.
Hydrokinetics
Branch of hydraulics . Concerned with the rules governing the flow of fluids with low compressibility and little internal friction. In hydrokinetics, the transmission of energy mainly occurs via the kinetic
Sealing compatibility index (DVI)
Parameters for the behaviour of elastomer materials in different hydraulic fluids that can range from shrinkage, through slight swelling, to complete dissolution of the elastomer. If the DVI of the intended
NBR
rubber, including radial and shaft seal rings and O-rings. Not suitable for fire-resistant hydraulic fluids from the HFD group. Permissible temperature range -30°C to 100°C. Elastomers
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
Capillary tube
the form of a cylindrical pipe and whose length is much greater than the diameter d. For Newtonian fluids, the flow rate through these kinds of flow resistors is mainly determined by the viscous fluid friction
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.
Oil hydraulics
Area of hydraulics which works with mineral oil or oil-like hydraulic fluids whose key characteristics are sufficient viscosity coupled with good lubricating performance. All devices used in oil hydraulics
Hydrostatic laws
undesirable incorrect switching. In addition, there is of course also the behaviour of technical fluids that behave in accordance with laws: The viscosity of a fluid, The compressibility of a fluid, The [...] with the same magnitude. This the basic law of hydrostatics . All force and pressure processes in fluids are based on this law. As the hydraulic fluid must be transported from the place it is generated
Compression energy EK
to the storage of energy when a mechanical spring is compressed ( energy content of a fluid). With fluids, it is almost possible to assume that a constant bulk modulus and isothermal compression apply. The
