A liquid is practically incompressible. When a substance is compressed, it takes up less space. A liquid occupies
the same amount of space or volume even when under pressure. The space or volume that any substance
occupies is called "displacement."

Gas is compressible. When gas is compressed, it takes up less space and its displacement becomes less. The
space previously occupied by the gas may be occupied by another object. Therefore, a liquid is best suited for
the hydraulic system because it continually occupies the same volume or displacement.

According to Pascals Law, "Pressure exerted on a confined liquid is transmitted undiminished in all directions
and acts with equal force on all equal areas." Therefore, a force exerted on any part of an enclosed hydraulic oil
system transmits equal pressure in all directions throughout the system.
In the above example, a 50 Kg force acting upon a piston with a 2 Cm. radius creates a pressure of
approximately 4 Kg per square centimeter in a confined liquid. The same 4Kg/Cm acting upon a piston with a 3
Cm. radius supports a 112Kg force weight.

An orifice offers a restriction to the pump flow. When oil flows through an orifice, pressure is produced on the upstream
side of the orifice.
In right figure, there is an orifice in the pipe between the two gauges.
The gauge up stream of the orifice shows that a pressure of 30 bar is needed to send a flow of 1 LPM through the
orifice. There is no restriction to flow after the orifice. The gauge down stream of the orifice shows 0 pressure.

When the end of either pipe is plugged, oil flow to the tank is blocked.
The positive displacement pump continues pumping at 1 LPM and fills the pipe. When the pipe is filled, the
resistance to any additional flow into the pipe produces pressure. The pressure reaction is the same as Pascals
Law which states that "pressure exerted on a confined liquid is transmitted undiminished in all directions and acts
with equal force on all equal areas." The two gauge readings are the same.

In a system with parallel circuits, pump oil follows the path of least resistance. In figure , the pump supplies oil to
three parallel circuits. Circuit three has the lowest priority and circuit one has the highest priority.
When the pump oil flow fills the passage to the left of the three valves, pump oil pressure increases to 30 bar.
The pump oil pressure opens the valve to circuit one and oil flows into the circuit. When circuit one is filled, the
pump oil pressure begins to increase. The pump oil pressure increases to 60 bar and opens the valve to circuit
two. The pump oil pressure can not continue to increase until circuit two is filled. The pump oil pressure must
exceed 90 bar to open the valve to circuit three.
There must be a system relief valve in one of the circuits or at the pump to limit the maximum pressure in the
system.

Hydraulic tank
The main function of the hydraulic oil tank is to store oil. The tank also removes heat and air from the oil.
Tanks must have sufficient strength, adequate capacity and keep dirt out.

should be checked when the oil is cold. The oil level is
usually correct when the oil is in the middle of the sight glass.

Power Transmission
Because hydraulic fluids are virtually incompressible, once the hydraulic system is filled with fluid it can
instantly transmit power from one area to another. However, this does not mean that all hydraulic fluids
are equal and will transmit power with the same efficiency. Choosing the correct hydraulic fluid depends
on the application and the operating conditions.
Lubrication
Hydraulic fluid must lubricate the moving parts of the hydraulic system. The rotating or sliding
components must be able to function without touching other surfaces. The hydraulic fluid must maintain
a thin film between the two surfaces to prevent friction, heat and wear.

Hydraulic fluids
Sealing
Many hydraulic components are designed to use hydraulic fluid instead of mechanical seals within the
component. The viscosity of the fluid helps to determine its ability to function as a seal.
Cooling
The hydraulic system develops heat as it transfers mechanical energy to hydraulic energy and hydraulic
energy back to mechanical energy.
As the fluid moves throughout the system, heat flows from the warmer components to the cooler fluid.
The fluid gives up the heat to the reservoir or to coolers that are designed to maintain fluid temperatures
within design limits.
Other properties expected of the hydraulic fluid are the prevention of rust and corrosion on metal parts,
the resistance to foaming and oxidation, the ability to separate air, water and other contaminates from
the fluid, and the ability to maintain stability over a wide range of temperatures

Hydraulic pump
The hydraulic pump transfers mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. It is a device that takes energy
from one source (i.e. engine, electric motor, etc.) and transfers that energy into a hydraulic form. The
pump takes oil from a storage container (i.e. tank) and pushes it into a hydraulic system as flow.
All pumps produce oil flow in the same way. A vacuum is created at the pump inlet. The higher
atmospheric or tank pressure pushes the oil through the inlet passage and into the pump inlet chambers.
The pump carry the oil to the pump outlet chamber. The volume of the chamber decreases as the
chamber approaches the outlet. This decrease in chamber size pushes the oil out the outlet. Pumps
produce only the flow (i.e. gallons per minute, liters per minute, cubic centimeters per revolution, etc.)
used in the hydraulic system. Pumps DO NOT produce or cause "pressure". Pressure is caused by the
resistance to the flow. Resistance can be caused by flow through hoses, orifices, fittings, cylinders,
motors, or anything in the system that hinders free flow to the tank.

The purpose of a check valve is to readily permit oil flow in one direction, but prevent (check) oil flow
in the opposite direction. The check valve is sometimes called a "one way" check valve.

The make-up valve, looks similar to the check valve. The makeup valve is normally positioned in the circuit between
the implement and the tank. During normal operations, the pump or cylinder oil fills the area behind the make-up valve.
The pressure in the cylinder keeps the valve CLOSED. When the cylinder pressure is lower than the tank pressure,
the makeup valve will OPEN. The tank oil bypasses the pump and flows directly through the make-up valve to the
cylinder.
The make-up valve is used to prevent cavitations.

Orifice
An orifice is a small opening in the oil flow path. Flow through an orifice is affected by several factors.

Temperature
The oil viscosity changes with changes in temperature. Viscosity is a measurement of the oil's resistance
to flow at a specific temperature.
Hydraulic oil becomes thinner and flows more readily as the temperature increases.
Orifice Size
The size of the orifice controls the flow rate through the orifice. A common example is a hole in a garden
hose. A small pin hole will leak in the form of a drip or a fine spray. A larger hole will leak in the form of a
stream. The hole, whether small or large, meters a flow of water to the outside of the hose. The amount
of water metered depend on the size of the hole (orifice).

Pressure Differential
Flow through an orifice is affected by the pressure differential across the orifice. The greater the
pressure differential across the orifice, the greater the flow through the orifice.
Below figure, pressure differential is illustrated using the two tubes of tooth paste. When the tube of
toothpaste is gently squeezed as in A, the pressure difference between the inside of the tube and the
outside of the tube is small. Therefore, only a small amount of tooth paste is forced out.
When the tube is squeezed with greater force as in B, the pressure difference between the inside of
the tube and the outside of the tube increases and a larger amount of toothpaste is forced out.
