DEFINITIONS

Tool:

The hydraulic attachment that the auxiliary circuit is intended to power. These

 

may include hydraulic breakers, compactors, shears, etc.

Operating Pressure:

That pressure at which the tool will naturally operate without influence of out-

 

side pressure relief mechanisms. This pressure is an operating characteristic

 

of the tool and cannot be altered by the end user without changing the tool

 

design.

Relief Pressure:

The relief pressure is that pressure at which the circuit will dump fluid in order

 

to protect itself from damage.

Back Pressure:

The pressure at the tool’s connection to the return circuit of the carrier.

Flow Meter:

Instrument for testing the operating characteristics of a hydraulic circuit. The

 

data usually available from this device are pressure (psi/bar), flow (gpm/lpm)

 

and temperature (°F/°C).

Restrictor Valve:

A valve on the flow meter which allows the user to simulate an operating tool

 

by adding a pressure load (through restriction) to the circuit. This feature is

 

used to evaluate relief settings and flow ratings at pressure.

V60/V65/V100 Valves:

A priority flow control valve manufactured by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Allows

 

for optimum operation of any attachment by providing the proper amount of

 

flow for operation of the tool the “priority” aspect allows the attachment to func-

 

tion properly if another control function is activated.

Inlet Flow:

The hydraulic oil supplied to the IN port of the tool or valve.

Regulated Flow:

The flow of oil supplied to the tool by the V60/V100 valve.

By-Pass Flow:

The oil flow that is supplied by the carriers pump, but not used in the opera-

 

tion of the attachment. By-pass flow equals inlet flow (to the valve) minus the

 

regulated flow.

Pressure Line:

The hydraulic line(s) that supply pressurized oil from the pump to the valve or

 

tool.

Return Line:

The hydraulic line that connects the OUT port of the tool to the tank circuit of

 

the carrier.

Cracking Pressure:

The pressure at which the relief valve starts to open. Can be seen by a drop in

 

the flow rate as shown by the flow meter.

Full Open Pressure:

The pressure at which the relief valve is completely open dumping all system

 

flow to the tank.

Ambient Air Temperature:

The temperature of the outside air.

Stabilized Temperature:

The temperature at which the carrier hydraulic system temperature will stop

 

rising during testing or operation.
