Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need hydraulic fluid on hand?

Industry Systems: MSC Scrap Material Handlers Frequently Ask...
Your new baler will not be shipped with hydraulic fluid in the tank. Your Pre-Start Up Manual will provide the correct number of gallons of hydraulic fluid and a list of suggested fluid manufacturers. The hydraulic fluid needs to be located at the installation site upon the arrival of the equipment so that the installation contractor or dealer’s installer can add the fluid into the tank prior to start-up.

What about dirt in the hydraulic fluid?

Stanley Hydraulic Tools Faq
Dirt in any system (air, electric, or hydraulic) will cause wear. Air tools suffer most from dirt because the compressor is sucking in dirt all the time and tool exhaust ports allow dirt to get into the tool. Since the hydraulic system is a sealed system, dirt gets in only by carelessness. And, to protect against this, the hydraulic system has a full-flow filter.

Why take samples of aircraft hydraulic fluid?

Skydrol.com - Frequently Asked Questions
The performance of the entire aircraft hydraulic system can be affected by the condition of the hydraulic fluid. If the hydraulic fluid additives are damaged or depleted, the hydraulic fluid may no longer perform adequately in the system. Only after sampling the hydraulic fluid for the purpose of fluid analysis can one determine the condition of the additives. This allows action to be taken before damage to the hydraulic system can occur.

When should hydraulic fluid samples be taken?

Skydrol.com - Frequently Asked Questions
Routine Sampling - Each system should be sampled at least once a year or every 3000 flight hours, or whenever the airframe manufacturer suggests. Suspicion of Contamination - If contamination is suspected, fluids should be drained and replaced, with samples taken before and after the maintenance procedure.

What happens when fuel is contaminated by hydraulic fluid?

Skydrol.com - Frequently Asked Questions
In laboratory tests, concentrations of up to 5% Skydrol in jet fuel were cooled to -30oF. No gel formation or any other effect was observed. 5% is the maximum concentration possible in the worst case of a leak in a fuel tank heat exchanger.

What is the fluid?

Frequently Asked Questions
We use glycerin, FDA approved. This food additive is found in many recipes, the most common being frosting (or icing) on cakes. It is also used in some skin creams, makeup and lipstick. Others use animal-based Glycerin or water combinations.

What type of hydraulic fluid should I put in the power unit resevoir?

FAQ Page
The hydraulic fluid you can use is any hydraulic fluid that is kept on the shelf of major automotive stores. The fluid we use is Citgo brand AW32 hydraulic oil also used in farming and agricultural applications, or any tractor hydraulic fluid will work.

How much and what kind of hydraulic fluid should be used in my log splitter?

TISCA - Products - SWISHER - FAQ
Fill your log splitter hydraulic fluid reservoir approximately 1" below the reservoir tank fill hole. This should be at least five gallons of fluid on 22, 26, and 34 Ton models and at least seven gallons for the 34-ton Deluxe model. Dextron 2, Dextron 3, or Universal Hydraulic Oil is recommended for all Swisher log splitters.

Is there a field test kit available to analyze hydraulic fluid samples?

Skydrol.com - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but it is used only for a crude estimate of acid number, and not a precise numerical value. The Skydrol Test Kit is available from TBM Corporation, 314-721-5590, and other Skydrol distributors.

Will my current hydraulic fluid deliver MEHF performance?

DYNAVIS - Frequently Asked Questions
Consult with your supplier or review the product technical data sheet to see if the fluid properties include high VI (>150) in combination with good shear stability. Most suppliers offer high quality fluids that will provide some or all of the critical MEHF features. The MEHF performance level does not conflict with other OEM specifications or regional standards.

HOW MUCH HYDRAULIC FLUID DOES THE POWER PUMP HOLD?

Donovan Enterprises - Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ
APPROXIMATELY ONE GALLON. THE POWER PUMP’S FLOW RATE IS APPROXIMATELY .75 GALLON PER MINUTE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.

For Parts I and III, do I need to do any computations by hand?

CSE 241 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
No, let the computer do your work. As discussed in the lab, you will want to add some methods to the open addressing bucket mapping implementation to support this (e.g., a method to return the actual load, a method to reset and get the value of a probe counter). For Part III, you will also want to add a method to return the actual load. The lab does talk about this, so perhaps it would be good to reread the assignment.

Question: Do I need to drink extra fluid while I am breastfeeding?

Frequently Asked Questions
Fluid intake is best regulated by thirst. In fact, excess fluids can actually decrease milk production! Many studies have looked at fluid intake and milk output and have found that the mother's thirst is the best guide. So follow your own thirst (about 6 ? 8 glasses a day) and drink healthy beverages such as low or non-fat milk, 100% fruit or vegetable juices, or water.

Do Hydraulic Lifters Need to be Primed with Oil?

CraneCams
Many people mistakenly believe that hydraulic lifters must be soaked in oil overnight and be hand pumped up with a pushrod before installing into a new engine, however this is not necessary. In fact, this could cause the lifter to act as a ?solid? and prevent obtaining proper preload. What is very necessary is the priming of the entire engine?s oil system before starting up a new engine for the first time.

How often do I change the fluid?

Frequently Asked Questions :: ChemFree's SmartWasher :: Worl...
Under normal use, and proper maintenance, you should never have to change the solution. That is one of the biggest advantages of the SmartWasher. Ozzy cleans the solution of contaminants, leaving you clean solution to work with. Hydrocarbon materials are bioremediated in the SmartWasher so your "used" solution does not need to be hauled away as hazardous waste.

Q: What kind of fluid is in my jack plate’s hydraulic pump?

Bob's Machine Shop - Frequently Asked Questions
A: Your jack plate’s hydraulic pump takes 20 weight (20w-20) non-detergent motor oil or a light weight hydraulic oil.

What is hydraulic lime mortar?

Frequently Asked Questions about Historic Masonry
Hydraulic lime mortar is a lime mortar that hardens in damp or even wet conditions through a chemical reaction rather than exposure to air. (This is in contrast to standard, or non-hydraulic lime mortars, which harden by absorbing carbon dioxide, a process known as carbonation.) Hydraulic qualities are created when clay is included in the lime mixture.
