FLUID POWER CONTROL ME604C

Applications FLUID POWER Hydraulic systems are used where large forces are required such as in earth moving equipment, heavy cutting, Pressing and Clamping Pneumatic systems are used for relatively light moving, Clamping and Process operations

Applications FLUID POWER Lifting a car on a Car Ramp does not require high speed or clean control systems. Large forces are required to lift the heavy car. This application is particularly suited to the use of hydraulics.

Properties of hydraulic fluids FLUID POWER Properties of hydraulic fluids Density The density of a fluid is its mass per unit volume Though liquids are usually considered as incompressible, it is well known that density increases with pressure and decreases with temperature. Density is highly variable in gases nearly proportional to the pressure.  Note: specific volume is defined as:

Properties of hydraulic fluids FLUID POWER Properties of hydraulic fluids VISCOSITY: Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. It determines the fluid strain rate that is generated by a given applied shear stress. As the temperature increases, the viscosities of all liquids decrease, whereas the viscosities of all gases increase. It may also be necessary to model the effect of pressure on viscosity if large fluctuations in pressure are expected.

Thus, the value of viscosity in centipoise is an indication of the viscosity of a fluid relative to that of water at 20.2°C.
