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.

Normal operating: 120-150 F
