Hydraulic Failure Analysis:
Fluids, Components, and
System Effects
STP 1339
The third section of this book, Materials, provides an overview of significant research underway
to identify superior materials for hydraulic pump and component design. The areas of research include:
effect of material selection on cavitation erosion, surface engineering to improve material
properties, and surface texturing.
Hydraulic wear and failure is not limited to hydraulic pumps and motors. The fourth section,
Components--Seals, Valves and Rolling Element Bearings, addresses the effects of various wear, selected
failure mechanisms of hydraulic seals, and yellow metal wear.
The last section of the book is Fluids. The papers provided in this section discuss the effects of fluid
shear stability, additives, and bio-oils on hydraulic pump wear.
The information provided in this book make it an excellent resource for the hydraulic design engineer
and maintenance engineer to properly design, maintain, and troubleshoot a hydraulic system.
Additionally, the tests and recommendations made by the speakers at this conference will be carefully
analyzed within the ASTM D.02N subcommittee to determine their applicability for the development
of new ASTM standards and guides
