How It Works
Diagnostic Logic Tree
This calculator compares measured system parameters against expected values and uses a logic tree to identify probable causes of hydraulic system problems.
Key Diagnostic Indicators
- Low flow + normal pressure: Pump wear, internal bypass
- Normal flow + low pressure: Relief valve issue, load change
- Low flow + low pressure: Pump failure, cavitation, suction problem
- High temperature: Insufficient cooling, excessive throttling
- Noise: Cavitation, aeration, mechanical wear
Enter expected and measured values for your system to receive a diagnostic report.
System Diagnostics
Enter expected vs measured values to diagnose hydraulic system problems using logic-tree analysis.

Common Fault Matrix
| Symptom | Flow | Pressure | Likely Cause |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slow actuators | Low | Normal | Pump wear |
| Weak force | Normal | Low | Relief valve |
| Both degraded | Low | Low | Pump failure |
| Overheating | Normal | Normal | Cooler/bypass |
| Noise + foam | Erratic | Erratic | Aeration |
