Pressure loss
Lasting pressure reduction as a consequence of energy conversion (e.g. at a flow resistance ) (DIN 24 312). The pressure loss along with the leakage loss is the most important source of loss in hydrau
Pressure drop-flow rate chart for valves
Provides information on the magnitude of the Δp of directional and check valves depending on the flow rate Q (Figure D 78) . The pressure drop-flow rate chart is an important parameter for assessing a
Pressure ratio
On compressors: Ratio of the absolute final pressure to the absolute inlet pressure on a compressor. The pressure ratio on a multi-stage compressor is given by the ratio of the absolute inlet pressure
Pressure ratio valve
Valve that maintains the ratio of outlet pressure to inlet pressure constant.
Compression set
If an elastic material (elastomer or specific thermoplastics) is excessively deformed under pressure, lasting deformation may be caused such that after the end of the pressure action only part of the
PSI
English unit of pressure. Conversion: 1 bar = 14.5 psi and 1 psi = 0.07 bar (i.e. 1 000 psi = 70 bar).
Test bench
System to review the correct functioning and the operational safety of the static and dynamic behaviour, as well as the correct functioning of technical devices and assemblies.
