Oleo Strut Pressure

is 350psi within the Oleo's OEM's permitted range?

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

Yes. Our tech data tells us to increase the pressure to 350 psi for this particular situation. The question came up as to whether we can use the chart that is used for normal servicing or if a new chart would be needed because of the no-load pressure difference.

You could possibly get lucky and maybe the force to create a displacement "x" is 7/6*the force at 300psi.

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

I've attached the chart we are using. Again, this is used for servicing to the equivalent of 300 psi with no load.

Apparently that didn't work, so, I'm trying again.

so the oleo's bottomed out ?

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.
