What is the loss in PSI through each power transfer between hydraulic systems?

The loss in PSI through each power transfer between hydraulic systems is 500 PSI per transfer. This value is a standard figure used in hydraulic engineering, particularly in complex systems such as those in the C-5 aircraft. Understanding this loss is crucial for maintaining system efficiency and ensuring that hydraulic pressure remains within operational limits during various transfers.

In hydraulic systems, as power is transferred from one system to another, there are inherent losses due to factors such as friction, resistance in the lines, and the complexity of routing. The established loss of 500 PSI helps engineers and technicians to factor in these losses when designing and maintaining hydraulic systems, allowing for more accurate calculations of system performance and the necessary pressure adjustments needed to ensure that all components receive adequate hydraulic force to function effectively.
