Abstract
The problem of pressure transients in hydraulic actuators and other fluid-power components depends on equivalent compressibility and wave velocity with which all disturbances proceed. Data are presented in this paper for the wave velocity as function of the ratio of inside pipe diameter to wall thickness for fluids and pipe materials common to fluid-power applications. A review of the pressure transients in actuators under inertia load at closed valves is given. Unsteady pipe analysis under wave action is applied to the control problem of a fluid motor with speed regulator, and a special case is evaluated. (A)
