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"
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
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
Clogging behaviour of orifices
Orifices have different tendencies to accumulate contaminations in the pressure fluid . This changes the flow characteristics, and the orifice may become completely clogged under certain circumstances
Internally piloted valves
For the control movements of a pilot-controlled valve the necessary pressure fluid is drawn from the same circuit. For this reason a separate control oil circuit is not necessary. As a rule, however, the

Hydropneumatic accumulator
Hydraulic accumulator that uses a gas as the medium for applying a load to the hydraulic fluid (air for accumulators for water hydraulics , nitrogen for oil accumulators). As a consequence of the gas cushion
