Oleo Strut Pressure
Oleo Strut Pressure
(OP)
The normal strut pressure on our nose strut is 300 psi while it is on jacks. We also have a chart that shows the pressure vs strut extension for servicing while the plane is on the ground. If I increase the weight of the aircraft and raise the on-jack pressure to 350 psi, will the current chart still be applicable or will there need to be a new chart made? Thanks for your help!

I'd expect a new chart (pressure vs extension) is required.

It might depend on how linear the original load/deflection curve is.

since 350psi is on the chart, why ask the question ?
what are you doing with the oleo ? the chart looks like it's to verify the pressure ... the extension should be x inches if the oleo pressure is y psi (and you can measure oleo pressure with a pressure gauge too, no?
I thought your chart was a measure of load vs deflection for a given pressure.
