Aeration Measurment System in Hydraulic Flow Circuit
Aeration Measurment System in Hydraulic Flow Circuit
(OP)
I have a small hydraulic flow system in an aerospace application. I need an aeration measurement device to measure entrained and dissolved air in the hydraulic fluid as a function of different operating conditions. I anticipate aeration to be between ~1% and ~10% by volume.
I need help finding a measurement system or device for work in my lab. Can anyone provide recommendations?

Do you have recommendations for in-line, sample, real time indication of bulk modulus measure. The total fluid volume in the system is only ~1 gallon. I have many different operating conditions I want to test/sample. I do anticipate entrained air to be ~ 1% for some operating conditions.

If you weren't interested in that kind of accuracy, I suppose you could install small hydraulic cylinders at sampling points, equipping each with a sampling valve, a vent/dump valve, a force gauge and a dial indicator.
