What could be the purpose of an accumulator in a pneumatic system?

• Mitigate the effects of long tubing.

• Replace a portion of tubing.

• Create a vacuum.

• Reduce the number of manifolds required.

With the following circuit, an operator reads a flow rate A on the flowmeter. Select the relation that best describes the flow rate B indicated on the flowmeter if the operator extends the tubing length to 0.8 m (keeping the diameter the same).

• A < B

• A = B

• B = 0

• A > B
