What condition can occur if the inlet strainer on a pump clogs |
Cavitation |
|

|
What is the main cause of oxidation in hydraulic fluid |
Heat |
|

|
How can you keep the contaminants in new oil out of a hydraulic system |
Use a filter cart to install the oil |
|
Name three ways contaminants which can get into a hydraulic system |
New oil Rod seals Shaft seals Loose fittings Reservoir breather |
|
What information does the code 18/16/14 give you |
18/16/14 represents a standardized ISO code for the number of particles at a given size |

Pressure rating Flow capacity Dirt holding capacity Fluid compatibility |
|
Is new oil clean enough to use in hydraulic system or do you have to filter it before you install it? |
Filter it before you install it |
|
What is a major source of built in contamination |
Tapered thread pipe fittings |
|
What causes generated contamination |
Moving parts in the system |
|

4 microns 6 microns 14 microns |
|
Between petroleum-based fluids and non-petroleum based fluids , which type of fluid requires the highest cleanliness level |
