Pneumatic Systems

What are the two branches of Fluid Power.

• Pneumatics and Hydrogen

• Pneumatics and Horsepower

• Pneumatics and Hydraulics

• Pneumatics and Horoscops

A ________ is a sliding plug that fits closely inside the bore of a cylinder

• A jack

• A piston

• A valve

What does Pascal's law state?

• When you apply a small amount of pressure to a compressed fluid, it will send that pressure nowhere.

• When you apply pressure to a confined fluid, the fluid will send that pressure out in all directions at the same rate.

• When you apply a large amount of pressure to an object, it will float.

• When you use a fluid to apply pressure, the pressure will release.

What is a valve?

• A mechanical device or part that moves a fluid through or into something.

• A system that allows a fluid to move quickly.

• A mechanical fluid system that releases pressure.

• A mechanical device or part that controls the flow of fluids.

How are a hydraulic system and pneumatic system different?

• One is more powerful than the other.

• One uses a gas, and the other uses a liquid.

• One has a pump, and the other does not.

• One has more valves than the other.

How are a hydraulic system and a pneumatic system similar?

• Both use a gas.

• Both use water.

• Both use a fluid to apply force.

• Both use valves and pistons.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of pneumatic systems?

• They use compressed air to do work

• They can create linear or rotary motion

• They require oil as the primary fluid

• They are used in various industries including manufacturing

What is a key safety advantage of pneumatic systems over hydraulic systems?

• Pneumatic systems are more powerful

• Compressed air is non-flammable

• Pneumatic systems are quieter

• Air leaks are easier to detect

Which of the following is NOT a potential risk associated with pneumatic systems?

• Excessive pressure
