Study Notes
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
- The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
- A pressure gauge measures the pressure in a hydraulic system.
- The primary gas used in a pneumatic system is air.
- Pascal's Law states that the pressure in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.
- A pump delivers fluid pressure in a hydraulic system.
- A relief valve prevents excess pressure in a hydraulic system by releasing excess fluid.
- A flow control valve regulates the flow rate of fluid in a hydraulic system.
- A check valve allows fluid to flow in one direction and prevents backflow in a hydraulic system.
- A pilot line represents a small, separate line that controls or operates a valve or other component in a hydraulic system.
