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.
Pour point
Temperature at which the mineral oil still just flows under defined test conditions. It is somewhere between 6 and 8°C above the pour point . The pour point cannot be used to assess the characteristic
Position measurement by potentiometer
Position measurement by potentiometer is based on changes in the resistance in an electrical conductor as a function of its length ( Figure P 14 ). These days, position measurement by potentiometer is
Positive-pulse control
Reversal of a pulse valve by supplying air (pressurisation) to the piloting line. Since negative-pulse control is hardly used any more, the term used most often is simply pressure actuation.
Positioning error
Errors which (may) occur when positioning hydraulic drives. They consist of; the Δs N, errors associated with hysteresis and the reversal error for the continuously adjustable valve (between 0.1% and
Polymer materials
Macromolecular materials whose molecules are made up of simple, repeated molecular units (blocks). Their number determines the level of polymerisation. The materials used in fluid technology in terms
