Hydraulic Units

Hydraulic units are standardized measurements used to describe the behavior and performance of a hydraulic system. Understanding these units is essential for system design, analysis, and troubleshooting.

🔹 Key Hydraulic Units:

Parameter Common Units Description
Pressure psi, bar, MPa Force per unit area; drives fluid movement
Flow rate L/min, GPM Volume of fluid flowing per minute
Force N, kN, lbf Output produced by fluid pressure on an area
Power kW, HP Work done per unit time in the system
Area cm², in² Cross-sectional area inside actuators/cylinders
Volume liters, gallons Total fluid in motion or stored in the system

Correctly applying hydraulic units ensures safe operation, proper sizing, and compatibility with pumps, valves, and actuators.
