Automation & Robotics ROBO-226 Fluid Power Lab 7: Metering Circuits Objective: Control the speed of a cylinder using Meter In and Meter Out principles. Upon successful completion of this lab, the learner will be able to: ▪
Design and construct Meter In, Meter Out and Bleed Off hydraulic circuit to control the speed of a cylinder. ▪
Observe pressure, flow rate and time readings indicated on the various gauges. ▪
Identify the difference between Meter IN, Meter OUT and Bleed OFF circuits. Procedure: Using Hydraulic training bench Meter IN Circuit: Set the system pressure to 800 psi. Using the ANSI schematic circuit as a guide, connect the Meter IN circuit illustrated on the training bench. Set the FCV to fully open. Using the SDCV selector switch cycle the cylinder. After each cycle of the cylinder close the FCV by one half turn and record the readings on the pressure gauge, flow meter and time to extend the cylinder until the FCV is almost fully closed. Dis-assemble the Meter IN circuit. Meter OUT Circuit: Set the system pressure to 800 psi. Using the ANSI schematic circuit as a guide, connect the Meter OUT circuit illustrated on the training bench. Set the FCV to fully open. Using the SDCV selector switch cycle the cylinder. After each cycle of the cylinder close the FCV by one half turn and record the readings on the pressure gauge, flow meter and time to extend the cylinder until the FCV is almost fully closed. Dis-assemble the Meter OUT circuit. Bleed OFF Circuit: Set the system pressure to 800 psi. Using the ANSI schematic circuit as a guide, connect the Bleed OFF circuit illustrated on the training bench. Set the FCV to fully open. Using the SDCV selector switch cycle the cylinder.

BLEED-OFF SCHEMATIC 1. Describe what is meant by the term “opposing
load”
as it applies to cylinder motion. ANS. If the load is acting in opposing direction to the cylinder or motor it
’
s said to be opposing load. In the lab the load is opposing to the motor. 2. Explain why the Meter in principle can’t
be used on application where the load can “runaway”.
In application runaway load, the counterbalance valve makes cylinder movement resistive. 3. If the bleed off needle valve opening is reduced, how will that affect the cylinder speed? The speed will reduce slowly. If you keep reducing the opening the speed will reduce drastically.
4. Think of simple examples where bleed off circuit could be used. Bleed-off circuits are used where pressure is reasonably constant and precise control is not required. These circuits are mostly used in broaching machine, shapers, planers, where large quantity of fluid is used. 5. Describe the difference between meter in and meter out flow control. In meter-in system the external load opposes the direction of motion of cylinder. On the other hand, in meter-out system the oil flow rate out of the cylinder. Flow control valve
’s connection is different in both circuits. There is no pressure drop in meter-out flow control. 6. Define pressure intensification. In the circuit, the piston side in a double acting cylinder is pressurized and at the same time fluid is prevented from escaping from the rod side, pressure will intensify. This is called pressure intensification. 7. What is the purpose of the check valve in the flow control valve? The check valve is a device that allows the flow of fluid to move in only one direction. The primary purpose of a check valve is to prevent backflow in the system.

CHAPTER 5 : DIESEL ENGINE POWER PLANT
A six cylinder, four-stroke CI engine is tested against a water brake dynamometer for which
B.P = WN/17x10' in kW, where W is the brake load in newton and N is the speed of the
engine in the r.p.m. The air consumption was measured by means of a sharp edged orifice.
During the test following observersations were taken :
• Bore
• Stroke
• Speed
• Brake load
Barometer reading

Set up a spreadsheet solution to this problem. This will require that you derive one
formula to express the relationship between the friction coefficient, the spring constant,
and the spring compression; and a second formula to find the cost of using different slide
and spring types. Set up your spreadsheet as shown below. You can fill in the
"Acceptable?" column manually, rather than using a formula. Turn in a copy of your

You’re testing a system that involves a fan, water pump, and compressor. The components are turned ON in sequence and sensor readings are taken, as per a written protocol that you’re following. The system is running as expected after the fan and water pump are turned ON. However, when you turn ON the compressor, it runs for about thirty seconds then stops, consistently.
Swapping out the compressor for a different one seems to solve the problem. What could have been the issue with the bad compressor?

The Weather Monitor. Your South American expedition splits into two groups: one that stays at home base, and yours that goes off to
set up a sensor that will monitor precipitation, temperature, and sunlight through the upcoming winter. The sensor must link up to a
central communications system at base camp that simultaneously uploads the data from numerous sensors to a satellite. In order to
set up and calibrate the sensor, you will have to communicate with base camp to give them specific location information.
Unfortunately, the group's communication and navigation equipment has dwindled to walkie-talkies and a compass due to a river-raft
mishap, which means your group must not exceed the range of the walkie-talkies (3.0 miles). However, you do have a laser rangefinder
to help you measure distances as you navigate with the compass. After a few hours of hiking, you find the perfect plateau on which to
mount the sensor. You have carefully mapped your path from base camp around lakes and…

Tire manufacturers recommend that you check your tire pressure monthly to avoid unnecessary tire wear and enhance safety. This is best done when the tires are cold meaning; the car has not been driven for at least 2 hours. Since you leave for work before the sun comes up you decide to inflate your tires to the recommended pressure right after you get home from work in the afternoon when the tires are still warm. What would you find if you rechecked your tire pressure after the tires have cooled down?
A.Tire pressure has decreased because there is a decrease in kinetic energy of themolecules resulting in more collisions with the inside walls of the tire thusincreasing the pressure inside the tire.
B.Tire pressure has increased because there is a decrease in kinetic energy of the molecules resulting in fewer collisions with the inside walls of the tire thus decreasing the pressure inside the tire.

Problem 3: A small gearing system in your brand-new 3D printer fails as you were printing,
leading to an overload in the motor and a fire in your home. The fire spreads, burning half of
Everglades National Park in the worst environmental disaster in US history.
The printer company blames you! Stating that you must have been misusing the printer some-
how. Use your engineering knowledge to "show those jerks you mean business!"
You investigate and find a serial number on the gears and type it into Google, finding the
company that manufactures the gears. Their website provides some info that this series of gear is
made from AISI 4340 steel and the yield strength is 125 kpsi.
Assuming each gear tooth acts as a small cantilever, prove to the 3D printer company that they
are liable for the fire.
