  1. 3. Valve Used to start and stop flow in a circuit.
  2. 6. The tank that holds the fluid in a hydraulic system.
  3. 10. Valve Used to control which path fluid takes in a circuit.
  4. 12. The use of a liquid flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another.
  5. 13. Regulator A type of pneumatic pressure control valve that controls the maximum pressure in a branch of a circuit.
  6. 15. Law The absolute pressure of a confined gas is proportional to its temperature, provided its volume stays constant.
  7. 17. An air pump that compresses air into a receiver tank.
  8. 19. A device used to remove contamination from a fluid.
  9. 22. A device used to spray an oil mist into the stream of a pneumatic system.
  10. 23. A measure of a fluid’s thickness or resistance to flow.
  11. 24. Law States that the volume of a confined gas is proportional to its temperature, provided its pressure remains constant.
  12. 26. A sliding piece moved by or moving against fluid pressure which usually consists of a short cylindrical body fitting within a cylindrical chamber or vessel along which it moves back and forth.
  13. 27. Meter A device used to measure flow rate.
  14. 29. The force per unit area exerted by a fluid against a surface.

  1. 1. Pressure The total pressure exerted on a system, including atmospheric pressure.
  2. 2. The amount or quantity of something.
  3. 3. Power The use of a fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from one location to another.
  4. 4. Lines Used to transport fluid in a circuit.
  5. 5. Law The volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure exerted on it.
  6. 7. Cylinder A cylinder that acts under pressure in one direction only and returns automatically when the pressure is released.
  7. 8. Cylinder A cylinder that can act under pressure in both directions (extend and retract) to move a load.
  8. 9. Any device that controls, either automatically or manually, the flow of a fluid.
  9. 11. Valve A valve that allows flow in one direction but prevents flow in the opposite direction.
  10. 13. Relief Valve A type of pressure control valve that limits the maximum pressure in a hydraulic or pneumatic circuit.
  11. 14. Velocity The distance the fluid travels through a system in a given period of time.
  12. 16. Pressure The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above the point of measurement.
  13. 18. The use of gas flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another.
  14. 20. Law Pressure exerted by a confined fluid acts undiminished equally in all directions.
  15. 21. A device used to convert fluid power into mechanical power in the form of linear motion.
  16. 25. A switching device that uses the magnetic field generated by an electrical current for actuation.
  17. 26. A device used to create flow in a hydraulic system.
  18. 28. A part of an axle or shaft bent out at right angles, for converting reciprocal to circular motion and vice versa.
