pumps

what does a pump create high or low presure at the inlet?

low(negative)

if the pump inlet was plugged what would that do to the flow?

Cavitation

what are the types of contamination

Air,Water,Heat, Dirt, Prime Mover

what does shaft alignment mean

pump input shaft to output shatf of prime mover

if the prime mover rpms jump up fast what will this cause in the system

Cavitation

what is the vacuum gauge for

measure inlet recision

what does operating temperature mean and why is it important to bring the machine to that temperature

normal operating temp of veichel and peak of oil viscosity

what type of drains do pumps have

external and internal

what are the main parts of a piston pump

piston, swashplate, piston shoes, barrel

tools for testing pumps

tachometer, temp gauge, vacuum gauge, pump tester, presure gauge

what would low fluid cause to a system

Cavitation and start to rust the tank

can the engine cause flow issues

yes

what would a clogged filter cause in the system

high inlet restrictions

can I overwork the gpm of a pump

yes

how do we test pump

pump tester

when does a pump fail its test

70%

what injury can happen with high pressure leakage

injection wound
