The pressure loss in straight pipes (
P
(line)
) can be calculated as follows:
∆
p
≈
6.8 * L / d
4
* Q * V * D
∆
p
= Pressure differential in [bar]
L
= Pipe length [m]
d
= Internal pipe diameter [mm]
Q
= Flow rate [l/min]
V
= Kinematic viscosity [mm²/s]
D
= Density [kg/dm³]
Mineral oil-based hydraulic fluid has a
density of
≈
0.9 kg/dm³.
The density (D) is:
Mineral hydraulic oil HLP
0.85 … 0.90 kg / dm³
Phosphate ester HFDR
1.00 … 1.10 kg / dm³
Insulating oil
0.90 … 1.00 kg / dm³
Lubricating oil
0.90 … 0.95 kg / dm³
Additional threaded connections and pipe bends increase the pressure
differential and must be taken into account.
Keep the height difference between the pump and the oil level in the tank as
low as possible.
Avoid constrictions in the connected hoses. They compromise output and
increase the risk of cavitation.
Make sure that no tension or vibrations are carried over to the pump or filter
housing when the pipes are connected. Use hoses or expansion joints if
necessary.
