Use of the Hydraulic Ohm to Determine Flow Distribution

Determination of flow distribution is important in many types of fluid power machines. The life and proper operation of engines, transmissions, and fluid power equipment is dependent on satisfactory flow distribution of oil in the passages of the circuitry. Use of the hydraulic ohm provides a simplified and accurate method for determination of flow distribution and associated pressure values. The method provides a rapid solution and eliminates the need for the iterative type procedures commonly used.
