I don't know of any exact articles, but I am in fluid power and I would research the shift from Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems to the electromechanical (mechanical actuators driven by step or servo motors) side.
Perfect, thank you. I actually came up with the same theory, but wanted to see if anyone else had. I am going to use a load cell to calculate mass before and after and the pressure change to find my flow rate.
It is a leakage test. The fluid is air at 80 psi and will hopefully not leak to far down from there. The temperature will be room temperature, probably 72.
I am building a test stand to test air manifold assemblies. I want to use a change in pressure (psi/min) to find what the flow was (SCFM). I will find the pressure drop by pressurizing the manifold, sealing it, and measuring the beginning and end pressure over a set time. Can anyone help with...
