which valve allows free fluid flow in one direction and none in the other?   check valve  
🗑
valve that directs pressurized fluid to one end of an actuating cylinder; also directs return fluid to the reservoir   open-center selector valve  
🗑
1) Relief valves are used in pneumatic systems as damage prevention 2) Check valves are used in both hydraulic and pneumatic systems which is true?   both  
🗑
one of the distinguishing characteristics of an open-center selector valve used in a hydraulic system is that   fluid flows through when it's off  
🗑
what packing should be used in a system containing skydrol?   packing materials made for ester base fluids  
🗑
relief valves are used in pneumatic systems as?   damage prevention units  
🗑
the removal of air from hydraulic systems is done by?   bleeding the system  
🗑
the component in the hydraulic system used to direct flow of fluid is the   selector valve  
🗑
the purpose of the pressure regulator in a hydraulic system is to   maintain a certain range of pressures within a system  
🗑
a flexible sealing element subject to motion is a?   packing  
🗑
what characteristics apply to hydraulic systems?   min. maintenance lightweight easy to inspect  
🗑
extrusion of an O-ring is prevented in a high-pressure system by the use of a   backup ring on the side of the O-ring away from the pressure  
🗑
what's an advantage of piston-type motors over electric motors?   relieve system pressure  
🗑
the first step in removing an accumulator from an A/C is to?   bleed the air from it  
🗑
if a brake system uses packing designated for 5606, the correct servicing fluid is?   5606  
🗑
the internal resistance of a fluid which tends to prevent it from flowing is called   viscosity  
🗑
which is a characteristic of petroleum base hydraulic fluid?   flammable under normal conditions  
🗑
1) Use the type fluid specified in the manual to service the system 2) Hydraulic fluids are dyed a specific color for each fluid type Which is true?   both  
🗑
petroleum base hydraulic fluid is dyed what color?   red  
🗑
which is a characteristic of synthetic base hydraulic fluid?   high flash point  
🗑
which statement about fluids is correct?   fluids readily transmit pressure  
🗑
2 types of hydraulic fluids commonly used in civil A/C are?   MIL-5606 Skydrol  
🗑
what are the desirable properties of a good hydraulic fluid that has chemical stability?   low viscosity, high flash point, high fire point  
🗑
where can info be obtained about the compatibility of fire-resistant fluid with A/C materials?   fluid manufacturer's technical bulletins  
🗑
characteristics of MIL-5606 are?   red, strong scent, flammable  
🗑
if an A/C system requires mineral base fluid, but phosphate ester is used, what will happen?   the seals will not seal properly and cause leaks  
🗑
how can proper hydraulic fluid to be used in an airplane be determined?   aircraft mm  
🗑
the hydraulic component that directs fluid from either the normal source or an emergency source to an actuating cylinder is?   shuttle valve  
🗑
the primary purpose of a hydraulic actuating unit is to transform   fluid pressure into useful/ mechanical work  
🗑
the primary function of the flap overload valve is to   prevent flaps from being lowered at airspeeds that would impose high loads  
🗑
a unit which transforms hydraulic pressure into linear motion is called   actuating cylinder  
🗑
unloading valves are used with many engine-driven hydraulic pumps to?   relieve hydraulic pressure  
🗑
what safety device is usually located between the driving unit and hydraulic pump drive shaft?   pump drive coupling shear section  
🗑
excluding lines, which components are required to make up a simple hydraulic system?   pump, reservoir, selector valve, actuator  
🗑
in a gear-type hydraulic pump, a mechanical safety device incorporated to protect the pump from overload is the   shear pin  
🗑
pressure is a term used to indicate the force per unit area and is measured in   PSI  
🗑
if 2 actuating cylinders have the same are but different stroke lengths are connected to the same source, they will exert....   equal force, same speed  
🗑
system PSI= 100 psi hand pump 1" diameter 1/2" line connecting pump to 2" actuating cylinder what is the pressure between the pump and the actautor?   100 psi  
🗑
heat exchanger cooling units are required in some A/C hydraulic systems because of?   high pressure and high rates of fluid flow  
🗑
the unit that causes one hydraulic op to follow another in an definite order is the   sequence valve  
🗑
the purpose of a hydraulic pressure regulator is to   relieve the pump of its load when no actuating units are being operated  
🗑
what valve permits fluid to flow in one direction but restricts the flow rate in the other direction?   orfice check valve  
🗑
an accumulator is charged w/ a preload of 1000psi. when 3000psi is developed, what is the pressure on the air side of the accumulator?   3000 psi  
🗑
how is the air in an accumulator prevented from entering the fluid system?   physically separating the air chamber from the fluid chamber with a flexible separator  
🗑
after an accumulator has been installed and air chamber charged, the main system gauge won't show a reading until   the fluid side of the accumulator has been charged  
🗑
the device remains open to allow fluid flow, but shuts if the flow increases above a certain rate   hydraulic fuse  
🗑
when pressure control and relief units fail to function, how are most systems protected against overpressure?   a shear section on the main pump drive shaft  
🗑
before removing the filler cap of a pressurized reservoir, in order to service the system, you must   bleed the reservoir from the schrader valve  
🗑
what happens to the output of a constant-displacement pump when the pressure regulator diverts the fluid from the system to the reservoir?   the output pressure reduces, but the volume remains the same  
🗑
hydraulic system accumulators serve which of the following functions?   dampen pressure surges supplement system pump when needed store power for limited ops of components  
🗑
chattering of the hydraulic pump is a sign of   air entering the pump  
🗑
quick-disconnect couplings in hydraulic systems provide a means of   disconnecting the lines without getting air inside the remainder of the system  
🗑
a hydraulic pump is a constant-displacement type if it   produces a continuous positive pressure  
🗑
