DEFINITION OF TERMS
Tool: The hydraulic attachment which the auxiliary circuit is intended to power. These may include hydraulic breakers,
compactors, shears, etc.
Operating Pressure: That pressure at which the tool will naturally operate without inuence of outside pressure relief
mechanisms. This pressure is an operating characteristic of the tool and cannot be altered by the end user without
changing the tool design.
Relief Pressure: The relief pressure is that pressure at which the circuit will dump uid in order to protect itself
from damage.
Back Pressure: The pressure at the tool’s connection to the return circuit of the carrier.
Flow Meter: Instrument for testing the operating characteristics of a hydraulic circuit. The data usually available from
this device are pressure (psi/bar), ow (gpm/lpm) and temperature (°F/°C).
Restrictor Valve: A valve on the ow meter which allows the user to simulate an operating tool by adding a pressure
load (through restriction) to the circuit. This feature is used to evaluate relief settings and ow ratings at pressure.
V60/V65/V100 Valves: A priority ow control valve manufactured by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Allows for optimum
operation of any attachment by providing the proper amount of ow for operation of the tool the “priority” aspect allows
the attachment to function properly if another control function is activated.
Inlet Flow: The hydraulic oil supplied to the “IN” port of the tool or valve.
Regulated Flow: The ow of oil supplied to the tool by the V60/V100 valve.
By-Pass Flow: The oil ow that is supplied by the carriers pump, but not used in the operation of the attachment. By-
pass ow equals inlet ow (to the valve) minus the regulated ow.
Pressure Line: The hydraulic line(s) which supply pressurized oil from the pump to the valve or tool.
Return Line: The hydraulic line which connects the “OUT” port of the tool to the tank circuit of the carrier.
Cracking Pressure: The pressure at which the relief valve starts to open. Can be seen by a drop in the ow rate as
shown by the ow meter.
Full Open Pressure: The pressure at which the relief valve is completely open dumping all system ow to the tank.
Ambient Air The temperature of the outside air.
Temperature:
Stabilized The temperature at which the carrier hydraulic system temperature will stop rising during testing or opera-
tion.
Temperature:
