Hydraulic Notes

Pressure is defined as resistance to flow and is measured in PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch). Fluids are non-compressible while vapors and gases are compressible, and hydraulic and pneumatic pressure act equally in all directions. The speed of a cylinder or motor is determined by the flow rate in GPM, with pumps rated accordingly.
