LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The trainee should

be able to construct hydraulic systems as per system diagram supplied.

draw the systems diagram for the control of a single-acting cylinder with a 3/2
directional control valve and assemble this system on the hydraulic stand.
draw the system diagram for the control of a double-acting cylinder with a 4/3
directional control valve and assemble this system on the hydraulic stand.
know what measures to take to ensure smooth running of the piston.
be able to adjust correctly the hydraulic pressure in a system.
be familiar with the applications of a non-return valve.
be able to name the various components of a hydraulic system.

PRACTICAL EXERCISE 1

Recording the characteristic curve of a hydraulic pump

a)

Construct a hydraulic system according to drawing shown below.

b)

Measure and record the flow rate (Q) and discharge pressure (Pe) in the table.
