HYDRAULICS BASIC HYDRAULICS HYDRAULIC SELF ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS 1. A force of 100N is applied to 2 separate jacks, the area of one is 0.02m? and the other is 0.04m": a) the smaller jack will exert a pressure of 2000Pa and the larger 4000 Pa b) the smaller jack will exert a pressure of 5000 Pa and the larger 2500 Pa ©) both jacks will move at the same speed. 4) both have the same load. 2. Apreccharge pressure of 1000 bar of gas is shown on the accumulator gauge. The system is then pressurised to 1500 bar, so the accumulator will read: a) 500 bar b) 1000 bar ©) 1500 bar 4) 2500bar 3. The pressure gauge of an hydraulic system provides information regarding the pressure of: a) the air in the accumulator. b) the air and hydraulic fluid in the system. ©) the proportional pressure in the system. d) the hydraulic fluid in the system. 4. A shuttle vatve: a) _ is used to replace NRVs. b) allows two supply sources to operate one unit ©) allows one source to operate two units d) acts as a non-return valve 5. Def. Stan 91/48 is and is ~ a) red, mineral b) red, synthetic ©) green, mineral 4) purple, synthetic 2.1-35 ‘© Oxford Aviation Services LimitedHYDRAULICS BASIC HYDRAULICS 6 10. ML. A restrictor valve: a) _is used to restrict the number of services available after loss of system pressure. b) controls the rate of movement of a service ©) controls the rate of build up of pressure in the system d) controls the distance a jack moves With a hyd lock there is: a) flow, but no jack movement b) no flow but jack continues to move under gravitational effects. ©) no flow, jack is stationary 4) constant flow The hydraulic fluid is changed, but the wrong fluid is replaced, This would lead to: a) high operating fluid temperature b) system failure from leaks and blocked filters, high temp and possible corrosion. ©) seal damage and jack corrosion 4) normal operation Accumulator floating piston: a) _ pushes the fluid up when being charged. b) _ pushes the fluid down when being charged ©) provides a seal between the gas and fluid 4) prevents a hydraulic lock Arelief valve: a) __ relieves below system pressure. b) maintains pressure to a priority circuit. ©) relieves at its designed pressure 4) prevents excessive pressure through increased fluid temperature. The primary purpose of a hydraulic reservo a) to compensate for leaks and expansion. b) _toallowa space into which spare fluid may be stored. ©) to indicate system contents. 4) to maintain fluid between a jack and the accumulator. 2.1-36 ‘© Oxford Aviation Services LimitedHYDRAULICS BASIC HYDRAULICS 12. With air in the hydraulic system you would: @) ignore it because normal operation would remove it. b) bleed the air out of the system, ©) allow the accumulator to automatically adjust itself. expect it to operate faster. 13, The pressure filter in a hydraulic system: a) filters the fluid returning to the tank. b) is fitted down stream of the pump. ©) can be by passed when maximum flow is required. 4) clears the fluid as it leaves the reservoir. 14. Pascal's law states that a) pressure is inversely proportional to load b) liquid is compressible ©) oxygen can be used to charge the accumulators. d) applied force acts equally in all directions. 15. A constant pressure hydraulic pump is governed by: a) anautomatic cut out. b) engine RPM. ©) acontrol piston. ) —_aswash plate that senses the fluid temperature 16. A high pressure hydraulic pump: a) needs a positive fluid supply. b) does not need a positive fluid supply. ©) outlet pressure is governed hy centrifugal force. 4) does not need a cooling fluid flow. 17. Case drain filters are a) fitted to prevent debris from the reservoir reaching the system b) designed to allow hydraulic pump lubricating fluid to drain to atmosphere ©) __toenable pump lubricating fluid to be used to monitor pump condition d) fitted in the reservoir outlet 2.1-37 (© Oxford Aviation Services Limited
