 PUMP CALIBRATION
Calibrate: To validate the output of the
pump relative to the inputs.

Why calibrate the pumps?

Complaint of underperformance, where basic pressures and settings have

been confirmed to be ok.

Travel deviation – poor pump cal.

PSt pressure loss by internal leakage in PSt valve.

Replace/reseal PSt valve.

Testing can be done from the safety of the =100 Litres 60 SECONDS
operator's cab.

High pressure hoses do not easily

move to install a flow meter.

No requirement to open hydraulic

systems.

Flowmeters at main pump ranges are

expensive.

Permanent flowmeters? Will they work

when you need them?

Can be validated on a machine easily
 PROCEDURE

1. Run single engine at high idle.

2. Verify there is 42 bar PSt pressure to the pump

when at 820mA.

3. Check/set the P port servo. (Single engine, high

idle).

Adjustment

4. Disconnect PSt solenoid valve DIN plug.

5. Set PSt signal to 27 bar by adjusting the screw on PSt DIN Plug
top of the PSt solenoid valve.

6. Ensure that it’s 27 bar when 3 pumps are isolated.

 PROCEDURE

7. Attach 100 bar gauge to MSt (t-piece test port at

PSt valve).

8. MSt should be 30 bar difference to P Port Servo Servo= 80 / MSt= 50

when the PSt is at 27 Bar. Servo= 50 / MSt= 20

9. Adjust this at the DW valve to achive the 30 bar
difference.
 1. Stick vertical. 1. Bucket & stick cylinders fully extended.
2. Bucket base flat on ground. 2. Boom cylinders fully retracted.
PROCEDURE

10. Set up machine:

11. Isolate the 3 main pumps not being tested at PSt

isolation manifold.

12. Carry out boom lift cycle times. Adjustment

• Start timing when boom begins to move.

• Not from when the joystick is moved.

• Carry out on all pumps individually and record times.

 PROCEDURE
