Yes. Because the relief valve is set to what the maximum operating pressure requirement is, it gets rid of the excess pressure by letting oil out once it reaches the pressure it is set to.

Is hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil the same thing?

Hydraulic oil and hydraulic fluid are different. Hydraulic fluid is used in small systems such as car brakes. Hydraulic oil is used in large systems such as loaders.


What is the differencesw in relief and vent in a hydraulic system?

In a hydraulic system, a relief valve is designed to prevent excessive pressure buildup by diverting fluid back to the reservoir when the pressure exceeds a preset limit. A vent, on the other hand, allows air to enter or escape the hydraulic system, helping to maintain atmospheric pressure and prevent vacuum conditions that can affect system performance. Essentially, relief valves protect against overpressure, while vents ensure proper fluid movement and system integrity.

Why is the fluid in an hydraulic machine a liquid than a gas?

Fluid in hydraulic machines is a liquid because liquids are incompressible, providing consistent pressure transmission. Gases are compressible, leading to fluctuations in pressure and less reliable operation in hydraulic systems. Liquids also offer better lubrication properties and durability for hydraulic components.

Functions of relief valves in fluid power control systems?

Fluid power comes in two forms: hydraulic and pneumatic. The pump in an hydraulic system is a flow source, delivering a set amount of fluid every revolution. Pressure is an effect due to restriction on flow in the circuit. If the oil delivered by the pump is used to operate a cylinder, the pressure that develops is due to load on the piston. If the pressure required to move the load on the cylinder is greater than the setting of the relief valve, the piston will not move and all the oil will pass through the relief valve. Also, when the piston has moved to the end of the stroke, it cannot move any further, however the oil delivered by the pump goes over the relief valve. If there wasn't a relief valve, the pressure will build up until the oil from the pump can flow somewhere: by bursting a hose or breaking the pump or cylinder.
