Instrument Test Procedures
Instrument Test Overview
The following tests are specifically designed to approach
hydraulic testing on a system level. Each component
within the system represents a portion of the total system
leakage. An internal leakage percentage for each
component will be calculated and recorded, enabling the
technician to view the system performance issue more
completely. The test results will help the technician to
determine which repairs will best remedy the
performance issue experienced by the machine operator.
The internal leakage percentage ranges are as follows:
0–10% = Good
11–20% = Marginal
21% and Beyond = Bad
Example: Cutting Unit System Performance
Complaint
The machine operator reports the mower is not cutting
correctly.
Troubleshooting must first be performed to rule out a
cutting unit adjustment issue. Once the issue is known to
be component related, the entire cutting unit system is
tested as outlined. The calculated system leakage is
2
8
%, a result that requires the testing of individual
components. This result can also be interpreted as the
system is 72% efficient.
The remaining components in question are as follows:
front cutting units pump, front reel valve, right front reel
motor, center reel motor, and left front reel motor.
Following the procedures as outlined, test each individual
component, then calculate and record leakage
percentages.
The results from this test reveal leakage of 5% in the front
cutting units pump, 5.3% in the front reel valve, 20% in
the right front reel motor, 5.6% in the center reel motor,
and 4.4% in the left front reel motor. Although all the
components lend to the overall circuit leakage, only the
right front reel motor, which is at the extreme end of the
marginal range, would be considered for
repair/replacement.
Formulas:
Front Cutting Units Circuit Test
No Load Flow – Loaded Flow / No Load Flow x 100 =
Leak Percentage
Reel Motor and Reel Valve
Loaded Flow from previous component – Loaded Flow
from current component / Loaded Flow from previous
component x 100 = Leak Percentage
Calculations:
Front Cutting Units Circuit Test
No Load Flow = 5.2 gpm
Loaded Flow = 3.7 gpm
5.2 – 3.7 / 10 x 100 = Total Circuit Leakage 2
8
%
Front Cutting Units Pump Test
No Load Flow = 5.2 gpm
Loaded Flow = 4.94 gpm
5.2 – 4.94 / 5.2 x 100 = Front Cutting Units Pump
Leakage 5%
Front Reel Valve Test
Loaded Flow from front cutting units pump test = 4.94
gpm
Loaded Flow from front reel valve test = 4.67 gpm
4.94 – 4.6
8
/ 4.94 x 100 = Front Reel Valve Leakage
5.3%
Right Front Reel Motor Test
Loaded Flow from front reel valve test = 4.6
8
gpm
Loaded Flow from right front cutting unit motor test = 3.74
gpm
4.6
8
– 3.74 / 4.6
8
x 100 = Right Front Cutting Unit Motor
Leakage 20%
Center Reel Motor Test
Loaded Flow from left front cutting unit motor test = 3.74
gpm
Loaded Flow from center cutting unit motor test = 3.54
gpm
3.74 – 3.54 / 3.74 x 100 = Center Cutting Unit Motor
Leakage 5.6%
Left Front Reel Motor Test
Loaded Flow from center cutting unit motor test = 3.54
gpm
Loaded Flow from left front cutting unit motor test =
3.3
8
gpm
3.54 – 3.3
8
/ 3.54 x 100 = Left Front Cutting Unit Motor
Leakage 4.4%
