Flow & the path of least resistance

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: If there is an alternate flow path for oil to take - a pressure relief valve, for example (not pictured, but situated upstream of the gauge & faucet) - and if the pressure caused by the resistance of the partially closed faucet rises to the pressure setting of the relief valve, then part of the flow from the pump will flow through the faucet, and the rest through the relief valve. If the pressures across the two flow paths are equal, then flow will be split evenly. Half the flow rate will go through the faucet, half through the relief valve.

Resistance to flow

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: If a faucet is partially closed, it resists flow by forcing all the flow to pass through a smaller opening. A gauge upstream of the faucet inlet will show an increase of pressure. Closing the faucet a bit will not necessarily reduce the flow rate out of the faucet. If there is no other flow path, the pressure will rise to the level required to push the full flow rate through the smaller opening. Need help troubleshooting?

No resistance to flow = zero pressure

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Resistance to flow can be caused by an obstruction in a line such as a small orifice or a partially closed valve. In fact, everything through which oil flows resists the flow to some extent. If a faucet is wide open, it offers no resistance to the flow from the pump, and pressure will read zero PSI on a gauge. (Note: There must be pressure present or the liquid would not move, but the pressure level is too low to register on a gauge.) Need help? Call our team of troubleshooters today at 901-794-4884 or email sales@flinthyd.com.

Mechanical losses

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Load weight resists the flow of oil, but so does all the friction in the mechanical members of the machine. It is an error to ignore mechanical losses in a machine. Such mechanical inefficiencies can diminish the total force capacity of a cylinder, wear out parts too rapidly, burn fuel excessively, cause hydraulic system heat, and overload the engine.

Pressure inversely proportional to piston area

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Two cylinders each independently lifting equal weight loads will not develop identical pressures unless the cylinders' piston areas are equal. For example, a 5-inch diameter cylinder raising a 50,000 pound load will develop 2,545.82 PSI, but a 2.5-inch bore diameter cylinder will have pressure of 10,187.44 PSI.
