HYDRAULIC & PNEUMATIC QUIZ #3

1. A mechanical operated flow control valve that prevents fluid flowing to one unit before some other unit has actuated
completely is called a/an sequence valve.

2. A pressure operated flow control valve that prevents fluid flowing to one unit until another unit has actuated and
hydraulic pressure has built up to a value high enough to shift the valve is called a/an priority valve.

3. A flap overload valve is placed in the flaps down (flaps up / flaps down) line.

4. Heavy landing gear are assisted in falling smoothly and evenly from the wheel wells by allowing fluid to flow from the
up side of the actuator to the down side through a cross-flow valve.

5. Two types of selector valves are open center and close center.

6. Plug type selector valves used in low (high or low) pressure fluid power systems.

7. One characteristic of a spool type selector valve is that it requires a small (large / small) force to operate the
control.

8. A flow equalizer valve installed in the landing gear down line does (does / does not) equalize the flow for both
extension and retraction of the landing gear.

9. A component that shuts off the flow of hydraulic fluid if a line should rupture is called a hydraulic fuse.

10. A pressure relief valve is usually used as a backup (primary / backup) pressure regulating valve.

11. A thermal relief valve is adjusted to relieve at a pressure higher (lower / higher) than that for which the main system
pressure relief valve adjusted.

12. Another name for a system pressure regulator is a/an unloading valve.

13. When one subsystem requires a lower pressure than the normal system operating pressure, a/an pressure reducing
valve is used.

14. In order to store an incompressible fluid under pressure in a hydraulic system, a/an accumulator must be used.

15. The initial pressure of compressed air or nitrogen used to preload in an accumulator is approximately 1/3 of the
system pressure.

16. The air valve core used in an accumulator is identified as a high pressure core by the letter H embossed on the stem.

17. An accumulator fitted with an AN812 air valve should not (should / should not) be deflated by depressing the valve
stem.

18. When hydraulic fluid is pumped into an accumulator, the preload air pressure will increase (increase / decrease /
remain the same).

19. An efficient hydraulic filter should be able to remove contaminants larger than 5 microns.

20. A red indicator button sticking up on the top of a hydraulic filter is an indication that the filter element is clogged.

21. If a hydraulic filter clogs, unfiltered fluid flows to the system through a bypass valve in the filter.

22. The degree of filtration of a Cuno filter is determined by the thickness of the separators (disk / separators).

23. Two types of hydraulic actuators are linear and rotary actuators.

24. A linear hydraulic actuator that has the same area on both sides of its piston is called a/an balanced actuator.

25. If two linear actuators with pistons having the same cross sectional area but different piston strokes are connected to
the same source of hydraulic pressure, the piston will move at the same (the same / different) rates of speed.

26. If two linear actuators with piston of different cross sectional area are connected to the same sources of hydraulic
pressure, the pistons will produce different (the same / different) forces.

27. The rate of movement of the piston in a linear actuator may be controlled by installing a/an restrictor in the inlet or
outlet port of the actuator.

28. A hydraulic actuator whose piston is moved in both directions by hydraulic fluid under pressure is called a/an double-
acting actuator.

29. A rack and pinion linear hydraulic actuator has an output that is rotary (linear / rotary).

30. On an aircraft having boosted controls, the pilot actually moves a flow control valve which directs fluid to the proper
side of an actuator that moves the control surface.

31. A high pressure seal use to seal between two fixed surfaces is called a gasket (gasket / packing).

32. A high pressure seal used to seal between a fixed and a moveable surface is called a packing (gasket / packing).

33. A chevron seal is a one way (one way / two way) seal.

34. A chevron seal must be installed in such a way that the pressure is on the side of the open end (apex / open end).

35. An O-ring seal is a two way (one way / two way) seal.

36. An O-ring of the correct size can withstand pressure of up to about 1500 psi without distortion.

37. When leather backup ring are used with an O-ring seal, the smooth, or hair, side of the ring should towards (towards
or away from) the O-ring.

38. A backup ring is installed on the side of an O-ring away from (towards / away from) the pressure.

39. An O-ring seal used with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid will be identified with a blue (what color) mark.

40. 4 important bits of information that should be on the sealed envelope containing an O-ring seals are:
a. Part number.
b. Composition of the seal.
c. Name of the manufacture.
d. Cure date.

41. A felt ring is often installed around an actuator shaft to prevent dust and dirt entering the actuator and damaging the
seals. The ring is called a/an wiper.

42. Oil from the discharge of a wet type air pump is collected by a/an oil separator and returned to the engine.

43. The vanes of a dry type air pump are made of carbon.

44. The air pressure in a full pneumatic system is maintained in the correct range by the action of the unloading valve.

45. If the lubrication system for the high pressure compressor fails, the bleed valve will relieve the pump of all its load.

46. Water is removed from the compressor air in a full pneumatic system by the moisture separator.

47. The actuating components in a full pneumatic system may be serviced without discharging the air storage bottles by
closing the isolation valve.

48. Hydraulic pumps supplying pressure for large aircraft may be driven by five methods. These are:
a. engines.
b. AC electrical motors.
c. Engine bleed air.
d. Ram air turbine.
e. APU.

49. When a power transfer unit is used to pressurize one hydraulic system in an aircraft from another system, fluid is (is

50. No systematic troubleshooting can be done without the use of a/an systematic diagram of the system.
