It is because air can still go into the metal tube, and the atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia) will still force the tube to uncoil a bit. But the reading won't be very high.

How do you connect a lock valve to hydraulic cylinder?

The lock valve is connected to a hydraulic cylinder by forcefully pressing it into the fitting and releasing the retaining ring. This will lock the cylinder into place and keep it from moving.


What is Difference between relief valve and safety valve?

Relief valve always position in the suction line in oreder to relief the extra pressure, while safety valve is always placed at discharge line to release excess pressure.I would take that one step further by stating that a " RELIEF VALVE" is one that is "meant" to be lifted off its seat, as opposed to a "SAFETY RELIEF VALVE" which is not!DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIEF VALVE AND SAFETY VALVE:1. Releif valve is applicable in the fluid system.safety valve is applicable in the gaseous system.2.Relief valve opening is directly proportional to the pressure rise.Safety valve opening is will happen at after reaching the setpressure.3.Mode of relif vlave line is again connected to the suction.But in the safety valve is just vent-out there is no connection tosuction.


How Does Valve Work?

u mean valve of a engine.....? here's the answer... when the crankshaft rotates,then with the help of timing gear the camshaft rotates.timing gears are the gears on crankshaft(pinion) and camshaft(gear). when the cams on the crankshaft rotates it lifts up the follower(during eccentric portion of the cam). follower is connected to a push rod which moves the rocker about a point. rocker presses the valve stem in avalve guide againt the spring pressure. the valve comes down from the valve seat. and our fuel air mixture rushes inside the cylnder. when the non eccentric portion of the cam on the camshaft comes valve stem moves up due to spring pressure. the timing gears are such that they maintain a speed ratio of two between them. it means camshaft has to rotate at half the speed of crankshaft. it is because a valve has to open and close once in every two revolutions of the crankshaft.


What is the basic working principle of control valves?

air is introduced from top opening of valve . this air will deflect diaphragm that causes a motion and this motion move down the stem with the help of spring.the stem is connected to plug that will control the liquid flow.

How do you pressure test a power steering system?

You will need the proper gauge kit first. With the engine stopped install the pressure gauge with the shutoff valve in the open position. Start and idle the engine with the valve in the open position. Turn the wheel left and right several times to release any air bubbles and bring the fluid to normal operating temperature. With the gauge connected, close the shutoff valve for 5 seconds and compare with manufacturers specifications.


How does a pressure gauge work?

Reverse airflow feels a chamber inside the gauge and reads the pressure equal to the inside of the tyre its that simple. Same for air compressure, when the pressure is applied it seals the valve on the gauge end then back pressure fills the chamber inside the gauge when you release the gauge from the tyre valve the pressure has gone!!

How do you check the tire pressure in your car?

You need to purchase a tire pressure gauge. Using this, remove the dust cap on the tire valve and press the socket of the gauge firmly onto the open end of the valve. The gauge will show the tire pressure in the tire. After using the gauge replace the dust cap on the valve.


What is the correct feeler gauge size to use when setting valve gap on aircooled 1600 vw?

You need two gauges: a .006" "go" gauge and a .008" "no go" gauge. When the valve is adjusted correctly, the .006 will go in and the .008 will not.
