    Accumulator Precharge Pressure

    i'm designing a very basic form of a pneumatic system which involves a telescoping cylinder with a pressurized air chamber acting as an accumulator. what i'm having trouble figuring out is how much pressure to charge the accumulator with to extend the cylinder and hold it. i want to keep the...

    Another Flow rate calculation?

    The flow rate setting on my DCV is 30 GPM. The DCV controls a 4 stage telescoping cylinder. I'm trying to determine the discharge flow coming from the rod end when the cylinder is extending. i thought it was a simple velocity/cross sectional area. but i'm getting a discharge value that...

    pressure relief valve setting

    I have a hydraulic cylinder with an accumulator that is pressurized with nitrogen. Does anyone know what the appropriate setting for a relief valve that is going in the accumulator. i know the accepted setting for hydraulic relief valves are around 10% over MAWP. Do pneumatic relief valves...

    pressure relief valve setting

    i'm trying to determine the correct setting for my Direct Acting Pressure Relief Valve. this is a hydraulic system which i know the accepted setting is 10% over MAWP. However, the valve in question is in an accumulator pressurized with nitrogen. i need to know if pneumatic relief valves have...
