1. Pascal, bar and psi are units for:

A. Flow
B. Pressure
C. Area
D. Power
2. According to Pascal's principle the pressure is:
A. Equally as high overall in a closed container
B. Lower the further the measuring is from the load
C. Higher in a closed container than in an open one
D. A pressure is required to obtain hydraulic output
3. In a hydrostatic system power is transferred:
A. With fluid in motion
B. By hydromechanics
C. By pressurized fluid
D. By heated fluid
4. Cavitation in a hydraulic system can, amongst other things, be caused by:
A. The hydraulic oil is too thick.
B. The outlet pipe of pump is too long.
C. The return filter is clogged.
D. The pump casing’s pressure is too high.
5. Pressure in a hydraulic system is caused by:
A. Hydraulic pump.
B. The flow resistance in pipes and valves.
C. Main relief valve.
D. Shock valve.
6. Pressure measuring should be carried out at an oil temperature above 60 degrees C. Why?
A. The viscosity is higher above this temperature, which results in a more accurate reading.
B. The risk for cavitation in the pump is greater above this temperature.
C. The viscosity no longer changes above this temperature, which results in the correct
pressure at normal operating temperature.
D. The risk for degradation of the oil is less above this temperature
7. High viscosity means that the oil is:
A. Thinly fluid
B. Slow-flowing
C. Thinly fluid at a specific temperature
D. Slow-flowing at a specific temperature
8. What happens if the "by-pass" valve is open in the oil filter?
A. The oil is cleaned as usual.
B. The oil passes the filter un-cleaned.
C. Only some of the oil is cleaned.
D. The oil does not come out into the suction line to the pump.
9. What is required in the hydraulic system if a certain pressure must be maintained even if the
engine has stopped? A/an:
A. Accumulator.
B. Direction valve.
C. Pressure reducing valve.
D. Shock valve.
10. What is the main function of the pump? To
A. Flow
B. Pressure
C. Heat
D. All above

11. What is the main purpose of a pressure limiting valve?

A. To change a direction of flow
B. To prevent the pressure in a certain part of the system exceeding a certain level
C. To prevent the system pressure exceeding a certain level
D. To guarantee that the pressure is always built up to the correct level
12. What is the main purpose of a pressure reducing valve?
A. To change the direction of a flow
B. To prevent the pressure in a certain part of the system exceeding a certain level
C. To prevent the system pressure exceeding a certain level
D. All above
13. Which one of below will not cause the poor torque of hydraulic motor?
A. High back up pressure in motor return line
B. Lower pressure in motor inlet line
C. Lower back up pressure in motor return line
D. Displacement is lower than normal
14. Which symbol is the variable displacement pump:

15. In principle a servo valve is a:

A. Pressure limiting valve
B. Directional valve
C. Pressure reducing valve
D. Steering valve
16. Pressure limiting valve
