Installation
Fluid Ratings
For standard anti-wear
petroleum base fluids, the
PVH57 pump has the following
ratings:
• Rated Speed: 2400 rpm
• Rated Pressure: 250 bar (3625
psig)
• Rated Temperature: 95°C
(203°F)
• Inlet Pressure: Atmospheric
Pressure 1 bar absolute (0
psig)
For performance testing, the
PVH57 is to be tested at the
ratings listed in Table 1.
Install pump into test circuit per
Figure 1. Fill the pump case with
pre-filtered anti-wear petroleum-
based hydraulic fluid.
