Control devices
Devices, which control a power flow. In fluid technology these are the valves, which influence the flow rate in terms of direction ( directional valves ), size ( flow valves ) and pressure ( pressure valves
Fatigue strength
Fluid devices and systems are always given a load from zero to the maximum, i.e. they are subject to a pulsating load. Therefore, either the fatigue strength under fluctuating stress or the fatigue limit
Pressure ratings
DIN 24 312 and DIN 2401 contain a summary of the pressure ratings used in the area of fluid technology as well as the preferred pressure values in this area. The ratings should be used, as far as possible
CETOP
technical recommendations for fluid technology. Today CETOP still has a leading role in the preparation of technical standards for example in the area of hydraulic fluids and contamination checks. In total [...] in 1962. Over 700 businesses from 13 European countries are represented in CETOP by the national fluid technology associations. The member associations are from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France [...] Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia and Spain. The objective of CETOP is to promote and support the European fluid technology industry. The committee is particularly important in relation to the European Union. National
Flow machines
which work according to the hydrodynamic principle, i.e. in which the velocity element of the flowing fluid is decisive. For pumps, these are the centrifugal pumps and the turbines, hydrodynamic (Foettinger)
Rapeseed oil
Biologically degradable, i.e. environmentally-friendly hydraulic fluid. based on natural base oils. Besides the desired environmentally-friendly properties, rapeseed oil displays properties such as poor
Release valve
until the pressure in the chamber has dropped to a specific value (see Energy content of hydraulic fluid ).
Operating pressure
The operating pressure corresponds to the actual pressure (DIN 24 312). See also pressure ranges in fluid technology.
Polymer materials
molecular units (blocks). Their number determines the level of polymerisation. The materials used in fluid technology in terms of elastic materials for seals such as rubber, thermoplastic elastomers and t
Pressure stages
The pressure stages to be used in fluid technology are defined in DIN 24 312. They are taken from the preferred figure series R5 or R10 (Table D 3) . From these pressures a selection is defined in DIN
