Recovery Brings Its Own Set Of Challenges

As the recovery from the recent economic downturn continues to accelerate, the hydraulics industry is dealing with a whole new set of challenges as both customers and suppliers come to terms with our new reality. For engineers and product designers, the recovery is already generating tremendous pressure to expedite new products and bring upgraded ones to market. External drivers including global Tier 4/Stage IIIB Final emissions compliance and higher fuel costs combine with recession-impacted employment levels to place unprecedented demands on the engineering community. Eaton has responded to this challenge with a suite of online and locally installed software tools designed to speed design, prototype, and production programs. A good example is our CONTROL F(x)® software that helps customers accelerate the development of control programs for electro-hydraulic components and systems. Ruppert Russoniello, CONTROL F(x)® uses control function libraries based on Vice President - Global Markets, the IEC 61131-3 standard to support globally collaboraEaton's Hydraulics Group tive engineering models that reduce application development time. To help customers understand and apply this standards-based technology, Eaton has become a PLCopen certified training center for the IEC 61131-3 programming language standard. Eaton also offers extensive online product configuration, ordering, and status tracking tools to help customers meet today’s tight deadlines and critical delivery schedules. That, of course, presumes that product will be available to build the prototypes and eventually the designs that go to market. But, in today’s environment that is not necessarily a safe assumption because it’s going to take time for the hydraulic supplier base to recover its pre-downturn capacity. And, capacity isn’t the only issue. Before the downturn, major emphasis was placed on global sourcing to minimize cost. Now the focus must include local availability and organizational responsiveness to provide rapid customization for prototype and development efforts. At the same time this change is being implemented, manufacturing capacity has to be expanded to meet growing customer demands. To meet this challenge, Eaton has re-configured our global manufacturing operations to better align them with today’s business and supply chain models. We have also focused sales, engineering, and support services on the global market segments where customers expect to see sustained growth. Each segment has a unique set of growth drivers that will require innovative, segmentspecific technologies. Fuel economy is a good example. In the agriculture segment, enhanced fuel economy comes from technologies like electrohydraulic solutions to increase efficiency in planting and harvesting. In mining and construction, on the other hand, it tends to come from increased operating efficiencies achieved through higher operating pressures and enhanced durability such as those offered by our DuraForce™ products. And in commercial vehicles like refuse trucks, increased fuel economy tends to come through sophisticated Power On Demand and Hydraulic Launch Assist™ strategies. In civil engineering and the offshore oil and gas industries, the challenge is keeping the system running continuously and safely. Both industries also have applications exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Eatonite™ laser-clad anti-corrosion coating technology extends the life of hydraulic cylinder piston rods and is a good example of innovation in a market extremely sensitive to up-time. The downturn left the hydraulics industry leaner, but also smarter and better positioned to meet the new challenges created by the recovery. All in all, that’s really not a bad place to be. 4

New Problem: Tire Pressure Many times you may have heard of the comment, “Have you put winter air in your tires?” Well, there may be some truth to that statement. Here is your question. If you last checked your car tires at 80°F and measured 35 psi, and now the temperature has dropped to 20°F without any loss of air, what would the tire pressure now be? Give your answer to the nearest whole number.

Previous Problem:

AirTeaser 2" x 24" x 1"

(from Tech Directory 2010 issue)

Given: Extending pressure is < 10 psig. Operating requirements need a minimum of 150 pounds of clamping force and a maximum of 180 pounds of force. The inertia of the cylinder has been taken into consideration with the needed force. The part is crushed each time the cylinder clamps. Turning down the regulators to 40 psi doesn't change anything. What is the problem? Solution: The air regulator is a normally open or passing valve, and the instant stopping of the cylinder doesn’t give enough time for the air regulator to close to prevent an impact on the part.

You Made the Mess, Now You Clean It Up!

ow, don’t laugh, but I once designed a hydraulic system for automatically cleaning horse stalls using the energy from the movement of the waiting horse. I won’t get into the details, but I was going to market it with the slogan, “You made the mess, now you clean it up!” When I think about the way we usually do off-line filtering and cooling, I was reminded of this. Our systems generate the particles and the heat that needs to be removed. So, why do we ask electric motors to drive our off-line filtering and temperature control systems? We already have a hydraulic power unit that probably has a slightly oversized electric motor and maybe even some significant dwell time. Why add to the inefficiency with another oversized electric motor? And, by the way, why not replace that electric fan motor on the heat exchanger with a hydraulic motor? Let’s talk about it. Take an application where we have a 500-gallon reservoir and a system using a pressure-compensated pump set at 2000 psi. We have a highpressure in-line filter and a return line filter, but there is a fair amount of dwell time and we want to have a kidney loop to “scrub” the hydraulic fluid. We want to exchange the reservoir volume four times an hour through an off-line filtration system. We do the math and find that we will need a pump that will flow about 30 gpm to accomplish this. Our filter has a 25-pound bypass spring, and so we know the resistive load on the pump will be less than 30 psi if we use the correct line size. Now we have a decision to make. We do the math and we see that 30 gpm at 30 psi is going to be fractional HP. A 30-gpm pump coupled to a fractional HP motor is going to look a little silly, so we discard our calculator and apply a 5-hp, 1800-rpm electric motor to drive the 4.3-in.3 pump. We tell ourselves that we need the extra torque to start the pump and an oversized motor will run forever without any problem. The important thing is to clean and cool the fluid. No one is going to notice the little bit of energy consumed by the motor. It is simply the cost of properly conditioned fluid. We have talked before about the fact that an oversized electric motor will waste energy (see the article on “Power Factor”). This system, running 24/7, will have an operating cost of about $1,100 per year, assuming a $.10/kWh cost of electricity. The waste will not show up in the heat load for the hydraulics, but it will add operating cost to the owner of the hydraulic power unit both in kW used and in the power factor charge from the power company. The installed cost will also have to include a bell housing, couplings, mounting pad, and an electrical panel with controls. This brings us back to my first question. Why don’t we use a hydraulic motor to drive the pump? Think of some of the advantages. The motor and pump can be combined into one unit similar to a displacement flow divider/combiner. One section of the device would be the motor having a common internal shaft with the pump. The motor would have a displacement that would require almost all of the 2000 psi to develop the necessary torque to drive the pump. In this case a 0.1-in.3 motor would drive a 6.4-in.3 pump at 1200 rpm, and the combined flows would pass through the filtration system. The motor flow at 2000 psi would be about 0.5 gpm; little more than case drain flow. There is no bell housing, no coupling, and no electrical panel. The additional load on the hydraulic power unit would be about 0.44 kW at a cost of $400 per year—a savings of $700 per year over the electric motor. A ¼" tube from the pressure line with a simple flow limiter would be all the control necessary. When 6

the main pump is running, the off-line filtration system is also working (Fig. 1). We have an application here at the steel mill where we want to add some off-line filtration to our bulk storage. There would be a problem with the device described above because the flow through the hydraulic motor portion would be continually added to the bulk storage tank. The cure for this is simple. In this case, we would add a seal on the connecting shaft of the motor/pump and a return line from the motor back to the main reservoir. The seal is necessary because there is a normal internal leakage in the motor/pump and some fluid would continually be added to the bulk storage even if the motor had its own return line. The seal also provides the added advantage of allowing the use of different fluids for the motor and the pump. A power unit with one type of fluid could be used to drive the off-line filtration of another power unit or bulk storage having a different type of fluid (Fig. 2). The next time we decide to add an off-line fluid conditioning system, we should consider doing it with fluid power. We made the mess, and we can clean it up.

introduction to

Slip-In

Cartridge

Valves Part Two By Jim Popovich

Slip-in cartridge valves are two-port poppet valves inserted into a cavity in a manifold. When properly applied, the poppet design offers high flow capacity with minimal A-to-B port leakage due to the metal-to-metal seating of the poppet within the sleeve. In most applications, the function of the poppet is determined by the pilot valve. The poppet typically functions as the mainstage of a pilot-operated valve. The construction of the poppet and sleeve will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the elements are common to all: a poppet, bias spring, sleeve, interface cover, and pilot valves. Poppets with a variety of area ratios are available from most manufacturers of slip-in cartridge valves.

Systems integrator directory 2011

Slip-In Cartridge Valves, part 2: By Jim Popovich

he insert is essentially the mainstage of a twostage valve. It has two main flow ports: A and B. The poppet is spring offset so that the flow paths from ports A to B and B to A are normally closed. The poppet has an area labeled AP (Fig. 1) against which pilot pressure can act. The A port is the circular area at the “nose” of the poppet and is defined by the seat. Pressure within the B area acts on an annular area: the area between the seat and the outside diameter of the poppet. The AP area is the circular area defined by the outside diameter of the poppet. The AP area equals the sum of the A and B areas (A + B area = AP area). area The forces that hold the valve closed are the pressure acting on the AP area plus the bias spring force. The opening forces are produced by the pressures acting on both the A and B areas. The poppet bias springs (Fig. 2) are typically rated in bar (14.5 psi = 1 bar), which corresponds to the cracking pressure required on the A area. Typical spring values are 0.5 bar (7 psi), 1 bar (15 psi), 2 bar (30 psi), 2.5 bar (36 psi), 4 bar (60 psi), and 5 bar (72 psi). As we look at several different area ratio poppets, note that both the nose of the poppet and the sleeve seat change with each area ratio change. The poppet in Fig. 3 has an area ratio of 1:2, a chamfered nose, and the sleeve has a sharp edge seat. If the area ratio of the poppet is 1:2 (A:AP) and A + B = AP, then area A is the same as area B. If the cracking pressure for flow from A to B is 2.5 bar (36 psi), then the cracking pressure for flow from B to A is also 2.5 bar (36 psi). The 1:1.1 area ratio poppet shown in Fig. 4 has a chamfer on the poppet, but it is a much smaller chamfer than that on the 1:2 standard poppet, and the seat diameter in the sleeve is larger. This means that there is a relatively small area of the poppet on which the pressure in the B port can act. The area of B is only 10% of the A port area. If a poppet has an area ratio of 1:1.1 (A:AP)

Fig. 2

Fig. 5

and A + B = AP, then area B is 1/10 of area A. If the cracking pressure for flow from A to B is 2.5 bar (36 psi), then the cracking pressure for flow from B to A is 25 bar (360 psi). A 1:1 area ratio poppet will not allow flow from B to A because there is no effective area on which the pressure in the B port can develop a poppet lifting force. Therefore, the 1:1 area ratio poppet is uni-directional and will only allow flow from A to B. This poppet is used primarily in normally closed pressure control applications such as relief, sequence, unloading, counterbalance, and brake valves. 1:1 area ratio spools Fig. 1 The Effective Areas of a Poppet are used in the normally open pressure control valve functions, such as the pressure-reducing valve. As we look at the 1:1 area ratio poppet, the poppet itself is square-cornered at the bottom while the sleeve is chamfered where the poppet comes in contact with it. The 1:2 and 1:1.1 area ratios have the chamfer on the poppet. This makes the sleeves non-interchangeable among the poppet area ratios. Three different area ratios were given thus far as examples, although there are dozens of different area ratios available on the market from a variety of manufacturers. Typical area ratios include 1:1, 1:1.1, 1:1.6, and 1:2. In Fig. 5, the nose of the 1:2 area ratio-dampening poppet below has a V-shaped machined notch (or a series of notches) cut into the nose. This is called a “dampening poppet.” The dampening poppet provides a “softer” closing and opening, which is designed to reduce pressure spikes and resulting system shock as the poppet closes and opens. When a dampening poppet is used, flow ratings for the cartridge are derated by approximately 30%.

In Fig. 6, the nose of the 1:2 area ratio poppet has been extended and a V-shaped notch (or a series of notches) is cut into the nose. This flow control poppet may be used to meter flow from A to B (or B to A) if the travel of the poppet is controlled by mechanical or other means. It is generally used in flow control functions such as meter-in, meter-out, and bleed-off flow controls. Although there exists some standardization in slip-in cartridge valve symbols, just as with conventional valves, SICV construction and symbols may vary somewhat from manufacturer to manufacturer. Fig. 7 demonstrates a directional valve circuit that uses a 3-position, 4-way conventional solenoid directional valve as a pilot valve to control four slip-in cartridges that function the “mainstage.” When neither solenoid on the pilot valve is energized, 1000-psi pressure is applied to the AP areas of all four cartridges, forcing them closed. System pressure is 1000 psi due to the fact that the only path for pump flow is over the relief valve, resulting in the working pressure of 1000 psi. With no load, the cylinder should hold its position. When Solenoid A on the pilot directional valve is energized, pressure is still maintained on the AP areas of cartridges #2 and #4, keeping them in the closed position (Fig. 8). The AP areas of cartridges #1 and #3 are connected to the tank, which vents the AP areas. This allows cartridge #3 to open when the pressure acting on area B of that cartridge produces a force that exceeds the light bias spring force. This allows for pump flow to pass through cartridge #3 to the annular side (rod end) of the cylinder. The exhaust flow from the cap end of the cylinder is pushed through cartridge #1, which allows this flow to return to the reservoir. Note that cartridge #3 can be sized to handle the full 120-gpm pump flow, but cartridge #1 has to be sized to pass 240 gpm because the cylinder area ratio is 2:1. This ability to size each cartridge for the amount of flow it is required to pass allows for economy and manifold size reduction. If the circuit used a conventional 3-position, 4-way spool valve as the main valve, a physically much larger spool valve capable of handling 240 gpm would be required. Fig. 9 illustrates what happens when Solenoid B on the pilot directional valve is energized. Pressure is now applied to the AP areas of cartridges 1 and 3, forcing them to close. The AP areas of cartridges 2 and 4, however, are vented to tank. This allows cartridge 2 to open when the pressure acting on area B of that cartridge produces a force that exceeds that of the light bias spring force. This allows for pump flow to pass through cartridge 2 to the cap end of the cylinder. The exhaust flow from the annulus end (rod end) of the cylinder is pushed through cartridge 4, which allows this flow to return to the reservoir. Note that cartridge 2 has to be sized to handle full pump flow (120 gpm), but cartridge 4 only has to be sized to pass 60 gpm because the cylinder area ratio is 2:1. The individual cartridge elements in a slip-in cartridge valve circuit can be sized to the flow requirements based on its placement within the circuit. Cartridges 2 and 3 control whether flow is allowed from the pump to either the cap or rod end of the cylinder, respectfully. Cartridge 1 controls whether or not the flow is allowed to exit the cap end of the cylinder, and cartridge 4 controls whether flow is allowed to exit the rod end of the cylinder. Fig. 10 illustrates in 2-dimensional form how the elements of the circuit should be constructed using a manifold block. Further reduction in system volume could be achieved by mounting the SICVs on the side and back of the manifold block.

Conclusion Modular hydraulic valve systems provide space-saving, cost-effective, and efficient low-leakage motion control alternatives to the control of fluid power actuators. If and when manufacturers incorporate integrated electronic controls and sensors into these fluid power components on a greater scale, real-time monitoring of circuit element functions will be possible—with fault and failure analysis resulting in increased efficiencies.

It’s also one of the hardest skills to truly master. But mastering this essential skill will be a lot easier for the next  Figure 1 generation of fluid power pros. Because no matter what you want to learn these days, there’s an interactive software program available to assist you. For example, several years ago I made a New Year’s resolution to learn how to touch type. In years long past this would have involved buying a book, enrolling in a course, or both. Not these days. You just go down to Kinkos and get yourself a software program called “Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing” and spend 20 minutes a day on it until you achieve the typing speed you need. The fluid power equivalent to “Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing” is “Learn How to Read and Analyze Schematics in the 21st Century”— a.k.a. simulation software. And  Figure 2 while I could write a couple of pages about the power of simulation software as both a learning and an analytical tool, this is best illustrated with an example. Cast your mind back to Robert J. Sheaf’s Figure It Out problem in the Off-Highway Directory 2010 issue titled “Rod Gland Failure on a Molding Press.” The schematic diagram was relatively simple and a redrawn version of it is shown in Fig. 1. Readers were asked, Any idea why the rod gland continued to fail every two to three weeks? If you’ve been paying attention, even if you didn’t already 12

The cause of the problem is immediately obvious. When the DCV is shifted to extend the cylinder, we can see pressure on the rod side of the cylinder (red line on the state diagram) spikes to ~5900 psi, at which point the pilot-operated check valve opens, allowing the cylinder to extend. Now while this simulation result doesn’t telegraph the fact that the magnitude of the pressure spike is influenced by load-induced pressure, cylinder area ratio and check-valve area ratio, the significance of the

latter is fairly obvious from the state diagram (spike pressure on the piston side of the cylinder, shown in blue, is about ¼ of rod-side pressure). It also happens that the area ratio of the pilot-operated check valve is the easiest thing to change in the circuit (and even easier in the simulation software), which is what our diligent student does (Fig. 3). That’s better! He can now see the spike pressure on the rod-side of the cylinder, prior to the pilotedoperated check valve opening, has been reduced to

~1700 psi—a much more acceptable figure and one that is unlikely to result in failure of the rod seal. Problem solved. And without breaking sweat. Of course our budding fluid power pro still needs to refer to the relevant texts for a more complete understanding of this issue. But at least he now knows exactly where to look. And this makes his learning a heck of a lot more efficient than the head scratching many of us old timers had to go through!

The Next Level in

Wireless Mobile Hydraulic Control – Innovations in Proportional Crane Control Systems By Ben Stoller, Manager, Radio Controls, Magnetek, Inc.

The challenge: Provide a proportional crane control system to accommodate Auto Crane’s mobile hydraulic truck applications. Auto Crane, known for their innovation and versatility, required a wireless control system to partner with a hydraulic system that increases efficiency and safety, while reducing installation time and cost. GS, North America (GSNA), a provider of electro-hydraulic and electronic control solutions to OEMs in North and South American markets, and Magnetek Inc. , North American supplier of digital drive systems for industrial cranes, hoists, and monorails, designed a totally proportional crane control system. The team needed to replace an existing pistol-grip wireless hydraulic control that required an operator to use two hands to depress a proportional trigger and 14

an on/off thumb trigger control that offered primarily single function control. The truck-mounted cranes handle a variety of lifting requirements for service technicians. In its original configuration, the trucks utilized basic hydraulic controls with limited proportional functions, which caused undue boom stress loads and the inability to perform multiple proportional functions at the same time. The radio remote control did not provide any crane status information and was not scalable to meet unique user demands.

The System

GSNA, in partnership with Magnetek, provided a system that is comprised of three major components: the hand-held transmitter, the receiver, and the hydraulic system itself. The three major components work together to produce a crane load man-

agement system that is extremely user friendly to the operator and provides for the efficient and safe operation of the crane. The wireless transmitter chosen for the system was Magnetek’s Enrange Flex Pro™ fully proportional handheld control that allows for multiple speed operation on every crane function independently. It means that for the first time, operators can control the crane functions simultaneously and proportionally fully independent of each other's operation, and they are no longer limited to performing just one function at a time increasing load throughput, placement, and safety. An operator can ramp up or ramp down while lifting the load or rotating the boom. The customized 12-button Flex Pro control provides the operator with the ability to proportionally operate the crane with 100% power at four different speed scaling levels: 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% for fine control. The settings can be changed on the fly with a simple adjustment on the face of the control allowing all buttons to be operated in the full range of the selected speed setting. It gives the operator unmatched control to precisely and effortlessly place even the toughest load. An on-board emergency stop is included as a safety interface. The IP66-rated control has a rugged nylon housing built to withstand harsh, outdoor environments that makes it perfectly suited to this mobile hydraulic application. The control provides 100 hours of operation with only two double-A batteries, reducing downtime. It replaces the bulky trigger-toggle switch operation of the original system and is 70% lighter than previous transmitters. This allows for belt clip mounting and one-hand operawww.fluidpowerjournal.com | www.ifps.org

tion for improved working capability and increased safety; the belt clip also helps prevent accidental loss or damage at the work site. Magnetek also provided the receiver, its Enrange MHR wireless controller, which has components of a radio receiver and hydraulic controller in a single unit that significantly reduces costs and frees up valuable space on the trucks. It manages the output to the hydraulic valve bank as the transmitter is actuated. This ensures repeatable and constant performance at all temperatures and loads. The result is smooth ramp-up and ramp-down of each crane function independent of any other functions. The MHR offers an LCD graphic display that allows for viewing of system settings and a series of readouts that monitor the overall operation of the system. These are not just alpha-numeric codes; the actual description is clearly spelled out for ease of troubleshooting. The display shows the status of the crane in general and in the event of a malfunction, error messages are displayed, pinpointing the issue. The unique hydraulic system valve bank from GSNA is designed so that individual crane functions operate in parallel, giving each function the ability to operate independently. This means that the operator has the ability to boom-out or rotate the boom and make a lift at the same time. The hydraulic coils are fully sealed and designed to operate in the harshest environments. The hydraulic system reduces system back pressure, preventing the buildup of waste heat that could affect the performance of the crane. The crane operates smoothly at all speeds for the ultimate in operator control. Designed to operate in the harshest outdoor environments, the feature-rich system is built for the next generation of work-truck applications. A crane load management (CLM) system incorporates boom-pressure transducers and dual-axis sensors to provide feedback on machine and boom angle status for safe crane operation. If the crane is not level, the boom-mounted LED status light provides a warning, and the vehicle will not function unless the unsafe condition is corrected. When the crane is operating at 0 to 90% of rated capacity, the light will remain green. At 90% of rated capacity, the light will turn yellow and the speed will be reduced to 50%. At 100% of rated capacity and above, the light will turn red and a stop function is initiated. The totally proportional crane control system was first demonstrated at the International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition Trade Show in 2009 and again at the 2010 National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Trade show. The system was developed as the result of the engineering and research and development efforts of GSNA and Magnetek Enrange, in partnership with Auto Crane. The system design underwent an extensive field testing program. Utilizing the latest in CAN technology, the total machine control solution provides improved safety, ergonomics, increased productivity, and energy efficiency, resulting in a machine design that met the customer’s expectations.

GREEN AIRart 2

QUALITY INDUSTRIAL HOSE & ACCESSORIES

The article “Green Air” in the January/February 2011 issue introduced questions and concepts about efficient compressed air. I’ll address those questions in this article. LOWER PRESSURE One way to save is to reduce the compressor output pressure. Womack Fluid Power Data Book lists 0.160 hp to compress air to 80 psig and 0.179 to compress to 100 psig. Reducing the compressor output pressure 20 psig would save almost 12%. RAW HEAT or HEAT of COMPRESSION We use electricity, gas, oil, wood, etc., to generate BTU’s to heat our homes, cook food, etc. We often discard or counter the heat of compression with cooling equipment. If ambient air at the compressor intake filter is 70ºF and the compression ratio at 90 psig is 7.12 scf/ft3, the potential air temperature when compressed to 90 psig is 70 degrees x 7.12 = 498.6ºF. Much of this heat has been removed by exposure to internal metal surfaces and in some cases flooded oil that radiates raw heat to atmosphere. As a heat generator similar to a heat pump, the compressor has potential to be utilized. WATER VAPOR As the air enters the work area, if it has not been dried, it is most often 100% saturated with water vapor and usually warmer than ambient. A very modest reduction in temperature or increase in pressure can cause condensate to drop out. Waterbased lubricant and antifreeze dissolved in natural condensate lower the freeze point and add lubricity. This prevents internal rust and corrosion, lack of lubrication, freezing, and downtime.

in a blur, let me repeat. Air leaks are universal and cost a staggering amount for the energy to replace the compressed air that they waste. From the computerbased software programs to monitor compressed air systems down to the individual with a spray bottle of soapy water, none offer a viable solution. The cost of man-hours for skilled maintenance personnel and their overwhelming responsibility precludes a huntand-peck approach to plugging the ubiquitous leaks in most air systems. Merely identifying the magnitude or minutia of the problem and not offering a solution is little or no help. Opportunity knocks. PLUMBING The pressure loss due to undersized plumbing rivals leaks for the most wasteful and expensive part of many compressed air systems, and we did it to ourselves. Too many compressed air systems started out with what was thought to be a frugal approach. Actually a small saving on the plumbing itself becomes a very expensive situation that costs extra continually and grows worse with time. The plumbing was not sufficiently oversized for the growth and increased demand that often doubles in about five years. Added pipes are often run directly to new equipment or work areas. Add to that the completely bogus “Maximum Rated Air Flow Through Schedule 40 Pipe” charts that are in too many helpful reference books and pamphlets. Often the resident planners or mechanical contractors refer to the “state-of-the-art” information published by those who should know better and follow that reference to a problem waiting to happen. Informing decision-makers that plumbing with a 5% or 10% pressure drop in 100 feet of straight pipe is not acceptable could be a long-term task. As the plumbing grid grows and connects with smaller lines to point of use, the combined pressure drop may be over 30%. A new plumbing system with an accepted, accumulated pressure loss of 15% or more has been common but is needlessly wasteful, more red than green.

AIR LEAKS The number and variety of individuals, equipment, and techniques dedicated to locating, estimating, and quantifying leaks in compressed air systems is amazing. There is no doubt that air leaks are almost universal, expensive, wasteful, and tolerated. If leaking air made messy puddles, slippery surfaces, noxious odors, intolerable noise, or other unacceptable conditions, most of them would be fixed. In reality, they remain unnoticed, undetected, and not repaired. Air leaks are possibly the most expensive item in most compressed air systems. In other words leaks cost more than the compressor did over the service life of a system. The innovator who develops a system to fix leaks in by Thomas W. Kreher, CFPPT a timely, cost-effective manner will be an Applied Pneumatic Controls, Inc., OIL SMOKE® international hero. Those who would locate www.applied-pneumatic.com leaks or sell the devices to do it but not fix them are not effective. Least this point go by www.ifps.org | www.fluidpowerjournal.com

Host Trade Show Booth

On The Planet!

magine you’re hosting a really great party and the theme is fun, fun, fun. You put together a huge guest list and include all your friends. You plan a menu with fabulous food and exotic drinks. Decorations fit your theme and create a festive mood, and you even have a special playlist of fun songs. The day of the party arrives. The doorbell rings. Your friends turn up and soon you’re hosting an enormous crowd of happy people having a wonderful time. As everyone arrives, you greet them, perform introductions, and direct traffic. You’re busy, but you love it. Since you told your friends they were welcome to bring their friends, you meet interesting new people and expand your circle. Midway through the party, you gather everyone together and announce you’re giving out prizes. The first one goes to Tony. Everyone cheers as you hand

him a brightly colored bag filled with inexpensive goodies from the local dollar store. You hand out a couple more prizes and then circulate through the room, keeping conversation flowing and making sure everyone has a good time. The party lasts hours. When guests finally start to leave, you thank them for coming and hand them a small favor to show appreciation for their presence. The next day, your friends call and e-mail, telling you they had a wonderful time. “That was the best party I’ve been to in a decade!” “I haven’t had that much fun since college.” “I haven’t laughed so much in years.” “I met so many interesting people.” “You were a great host, and because of that, I had a great time.” Would you like to host a party like that? You can— at your next trade show. All you have to do is use these ten easy tips.

1. Good hosts wait at the door with a smile on their face ready to greet guests. Sell more at trade shows by doing the same thing. The aisle in front of your booth is the sidewalk leading up to your house and the right outside corner of your booth is your front door. Position yourself at the “door” and make people feel welcome. 2. Good hosts don’t spend much time on the couch. They move around, making people feel welcome and starting conversations. At a trade show, don’t sit behind a table and wait for prospects to come up and ask for literature. Get in the mix. 3. Good hosts are excited about throwing the party. When you’re asked to work a trade show, what’s in your head? Are you excited and happy, or do you view time spent in a booth as drudgery? If you spend hours in the booth wishing you were somewhere else, potential customers pick up on your unhappiness and

Of all the tips, the last is the most important. Call prospects while memories are fresh, interest is high and feelings are positive. Start calls by mentioning all the fun everyone had. If you played the role of a good trade show host, they will be glad to hear from you and receptive to a conversation. Party on!

wish the same thing. If you’re glad to be at the show, prospects are glad they stopped by and talked to you. 4. People are more comfortable speaking to you when they don’t feel you’re trying to sell something from the moment you meet. Good hosts chitchat. An easy way to get the conversational ball rolling is by talking to guest about one subject you know you have in common – the tradeshow. Have you attended this show before? Why did you come this year? Are you enjoying yourself? Are you finding the information you’re looking for? Do you like the location? 5. At parties, people like good food, interesting beverages and fun favors. I’m not suggesting you turn your 10 x 10 booth into a buffet area, but you could give away candy bars, healthy snacks, and bottles of water. Most people who accept a freebee will feel obligated enough to spend a few minutes answering questions and listening to your story. 6. Walk the show. Hand out business cards and personally invite attendees to stop by your booth. When a “host” issues a personal invitation, it is more likely to get accepted. 7. Don’t forget people like to have fun. Find ways to provide it and generate larger, more receptive audiences for marketing messages. 8. Watch for trade show VIPs. They could be speakers, well-known members of the industry, or media representatives. Know their names and something about them. If you spot VIPs, be friendly and start conversations. Invite them to your booth. If they stop by, you create buzz. 9. Identify your best prospects prior to the start of the show. If they stop by your booth, treat them like guests of honor. If they don’t stop by, walk the show, seek them out and extend a personal invitation to visit. 10. Good hosts promptly return calls from guests. If a prospect expresses interest, follow-up and call within four days after the show closes.

Since 1946, MICO has been redefining braking expertise… consistently innovating to solve OEM equipment challenges. When J.H. Fletcher & Co. was designing its new Prime Mover diesel tractor for hauling mine supplies, it needed a brake system to complement the machine’s extensive electronic controls. MICO delivered with an electrohydraulic system that automatically adjusts braking characteristics to match job conditions. The system sends a signal from an electronic brake pedal to an electronic control unit. Based on the given software setup, the unit passes the appropriate electrical current to an electrohydraulic pressure-modulating valve to decelerate the vehicle in a completely controlled fashion. “Safety, productivity and reliability are the key points we design to,” said Fletcher project engineer Craig Collins. “The MICO system provides some excellent safety advantages and it gives mining companies the confidence to let less experienced operators run the vehicle. We’ve found it to be cutting edge technology.” Go ahead and build your equipment. We’ll figure out how to brake it. Visit mico.com to see how MICO can fulfill your braking needs. Circle 195

In 1891,

the U.S. Congress passed the first federal legislation pertaining to the regulation of the mining industry. At that time, unsafe practices and conditions were causing more than 2,000 fatalities each year in U.S. coal mines alone. In 1910 Congress established the Bureau of Mines in order to reduce mining related accidents. In 1941 Congress gave federal inspectors the authority to enter mine sites. The Coal Mine Safety Act of 1952 provided for inspectors to issue notices of violation of safety practices. The Metal and Nonmetallic Mine Safety Act of 1966 allowed for the establishment of safety standards in all U.S. mines. The Coal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1969 gave inspectors the authority to levy monetary penalties in response to violations of safety standards. With the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, Congress established the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to oversee all aspects of health and safety concerns in the mining industry, wrapping together coal, metal, and nonmetallic mining operations. This was the first real milestone in mine safety. There were 272 mining related fatalities in the U.S. in 1977.1 In 2008 there were more than one million workers in the U.S. mining and mining support industries. To compare: Walmart is the largest company in the U.S. and in 2008 employed 1.3 million people. In 2002 I lived in Jacksonville, Fla.—a metropolitan area with 750,000 people—and there were six Walmart stores in town.2 The mining community (in the western U.S.) is a relatively small community despite the large number of workers concentrated in what are typically isolated rural locations. Copper prices and nickel prices generally pace the overall economy. When the economy is doing well, construction and production are on the rise and the prices of the raw materials needed for all of those things increases. Copper prices are typically higher when the economy is expanding. When the economy takes a turn downward, and overall growth and production slow down and companies contract, the prices of these raw materials drops; investors take their money out of declining industrial stocks and invest in safer markets such as gold and precious metals. So there is an equilibrating effect in the mining industry: when the economy is expanding, companies that mine copper and molybdenum are expanding; when the economy contracts, companies that mine gold and silver are expanding. In the western U.S. you can watch populations of miners migrate from one industry segment to the other and back with the market. Copper mines in Arizona and New Mexico were booming with the economy in the early part of the century, which was not too long ago, but when the bottom fell out in late 2008, all of the jobs moved to the gold mines in Nevada and Idaho where production was ramping up, virtually oblivious to the state of the rest of the economy. To get a perspective on deck-level operations, I spoke with several individuals who have been in the mining industry longer than I have, some for more than 30 years. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, it was not uncommon to show up at work in your steel-toe boots with your hardhat and coveralls and muster on the ready line to start your 12-hour shift only to hear from your supervisor that someone died on the previous night shift. It was not uncommon that it was someone you knew personally. And it was not uncommon that the death was caused by an unsafe condition that everyone had known to be a concern. You shook it off and went to www.ifps.org | www.fluidpowerjournal.com

work, just like every other day. This was the nature of the industry: it was fast-faced, dangerous, and critical that production pressed on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the “old days” it was not uncommon for the shift schedule to expand and contract to meet budgetary requirements and market demands. The average shift was 12 hours long and sometimes ran for 26 consecutive days before you got 2 days off: “26-n-2’s” they called them. This was a normal work schedule for miners in some areas, often spanning a year or more in duration. But with the development and growth of MSHA starting in the 1980s, mining companies took a monetary interest in expanding safety programs to reduce accidents, injuries, and deaths. It has always been important to preserve life and limb, as it were, but it wasn’t until the 1980s and 1990s that monetary interests began to direct the focus of industry management toward safety.

A Brief History of

Safety in the American

Mining

Industry By Justin Sergeant, CFPS, Open Loop Energy, Inc. Production has always been a priority, but safety meetings came into being, and lost production time resulted in a saved finger or leg and a saved life. Training programs were developed to get workers familiar with equipment and environments—not only how to operate a machine but also how to do it safely. With training came documentation, record keeping, accountability, and then certification programs. The pressures of production were shifted in many cultures from lower management, front-line supervisors and superintendents, up the ladder to managers and vice presidents, which resulted in the expansion of programs with broader scopes. Many fiscal bonus programs moved from the superintendent level to the upper management level, allowing the vice presidents and mine managers to develop programs that were efficient as opposed to making the supervisors force the operators to push their physical limits and the limits of their equipment in order to meet goals and objectives. The focus gradually shifted from “How many tons can you move with a bulldozer?” to “How many tons can you move with a program?”—an intricate orchestration of cooperation and interdependence. This allowed the operators, with their boots in the dirt and their hands in the grease, to focus on safety. The operators started to see more classroom time, time to talk about their safety concerns, time to learn about concerns that they may not have been aware of. As safety became the primary focus of the culture in the

mining industry, everything became an opportunity to improve safety. When the economy turned down in the 1990s and production pressures eased, mines had more time to train and develop and implement safety programs—time they hadn’t had when market prices made increased production more demanding. When the economy turned back up in the early 2000s, increased profitability allowed for the funding of more safety programs. In 2000, there were 85 fatalities in U.S. mining operations. In 2009, there were 34. That’s not perfection, but it is a dramatic improvement from 100 years ago, even 30 years ago. And the differences are seen in everyday operations of the deck-level personnel. If you entered the mining community on a typical mine site in the western U.S. today, you would most likely undergo a rigorous physical examination, a background check, and a drug screen as a fairly standard procedure. Then you would complete training before you entered the gates—safety training that outlines the standards of vehicle traffic control, radio traffic control, requirements for personnel protective equipment, accident and emergency response, environmental protection, and containment standards. Once you are through the gate, you would probably have to attend an indoctrination seminar that could last a week or more and is typically concluded with a graded test to ensure that you understand and retain the material that was covered. After that, when you report to your department, you would most likely spend the next three to six months on a limited duty probationary status. When I worked at a mine site, I was told not to take my hands out of my pockets for at least three weeks. I was assigned to a team and they took me everywhere, explaining to me everything that they did so that I could learn. I didn’t drive a vehicle on the property for more than a month. As I became familiar with the environment I was allowed to train on basic equipment like a forklift—even though I had been driving forklifts for years at a previous job. Formal training was always followed with a hands-on test under close supervision. When the senior operator was satisfied that I would be safe on the equipment, I signed a legal accountability record and was issued a numbered certificate authenticating my responsibilities. By the time I was allowed to work on my own (eight months later), I was intimately familiar with all of the work permits required for every location, the lock-out/tag-out/try-out procedures and documentations, the near-miss analysis logs, and the consequence-thinking programs designed to study all physical activities in advance to improve awareness and prevention of accidents. In my young career, I have worked in many different environments in many different areas. Even when I worked with nuclear power onboard submarines in the Navy, I did not see the level of safety concern that I see in the mining industry today. The culture of safety is deeply ingrained in every operation and activity, in every worker.

High Vacuum

he term high vacuum is often misused. In general industrial applications, a true high vacuum is rarely required. This article offers basic examples of what is meant by the terms rough vacuum, medium vacuum, and high vacuum and their general application in manufacturing.

Table 1 demonstrates widely acknowledged terminology used in industry. Torr is used in the reference numbers below, as this is often the unit of measurement used in North America. However the SI unit (International System of Units) of pressure is Pascal (symbol - Pa). The Pascal unit is derived from the pressure exerted by a 1 Newton force exerted over 1 square meter (1N/m³). Table 2 shows a conversion of this to other common units used. The biggest challenge is not in the selection of vacuum pumping equipment, which is able to achieve the high vacuum level, but the accessory equipment that prevents leaks in the total system. This could be gauging equipment, valves, or simply connections to apparatus. Pipe threads in medium- and high-vacuum applications are never used. Instead, flange connections are utilized offering a secure seal as shown in Fig. 1. Unlike rough vacuum applications, the end users in high vacuum fields are very aware of good vacuum practice. This is normally born from problems they have experienced before in the practicalities of achieving and maintaining a medium or high, leak-free vacuum system. Vacuum is a pressure condition. This needs to be understood. It is key in the comprehension, particularly by the technical vacuum novice, of what a “high” vacuum is. When referring to a “high vacuum” we mean a “deep” or “a lot of vacuum”—a condition in which the pressure has been reduced, by a very large amount, from the atmospheric pressure.

Rough Vacuum can be achieved using a variety of means using positive displacement pumps where a cavity is expanded to capture a volume of air and then exhausted out of the pump. Reciprocating piston pumps, commonly found in such apparatus as refrigerant circuits (just like the domestic models found in your home), are characterized by the dead space above the piston and leakage between the cylinder and piston. This leakage therefore limits the maximum final vacuum achievable by this type of technology. A common rough vacuum pump is the rotary sliding vane type offered by many manufacturers and under good conditions with high-quality equipment, a vacuum level of <0.1Torr is easily achieved. Applications such as meat packaging or freeze drying require vacuum levels beyond 1 Torr.

Medium Vacuum can be achieved by using rotary sliding vane pumps also, but the choice of manufacturers is more limited. Medium vacuum is commonly defined as one that can be achieved with a single vacuum pump but cannot be measured by a mechanical gauge, instead requiring a capacitive or thermal gauge. Applications such as incandescent light bulb and thermos flask manufacturing, as well as vacuum ovens, are typical of a medium vacuum pump system. High Vacuum is often defined using the term MFP (mean free path). This means the distance between each gas molecule. This is demonstrated in Fig. 2. Therefore, if the pumping chamber or volume being evacuated is larger than the MFP, it is a high vacuum. Multiple pump systems are required to generate high vacuum where you would use a “roughing” pump such

as a vane pump as used in medium vacuum. Coupled to this, a high-vacuum pump would be used to exhaust into the intake of the roughing pump. High-vacuum pumps such as turbomolecular models are unable to pump from atmospheric pressure simply because there are too many gas molecules to transfer. Do not forget that in simplistic terminology, a vacuum is a volume devoid of matter, such as gas molecules. High-vacuum applications are that of space simulation or laboratory test applications where the volume being tested has to be as media-free as possible to prevent contamination of the process. To achieve high vacuum, certain conditions have to exist such as large pumping tubes between pumping apparatus to offer ease of gas flow, low-out gassing materials such as certain grades of stainless steels (certain materials will exhaust gases into a high-vacuum stream preventing system final pressure), smooth tubing channels without pits and crevices that trap air bubbles, removal of all oils and liquids within the vacuum apparatus to prevent off gassing, and so on. Experts in this field are widespread particularly in North America and Europe where innovation in product development is common from invention and continuous exploration into high-vacuum engineering.

Classification of Systems and Environmental Characteristics Documents Now Available! Attention engineers and marketers wanting more and better information on performance or application information that can help you in the component selection process.

he National Fluid Power Association is making two new documents—one for hydraulics and one for pneumatics—available for downloading FREE on NFPA’s Web site, www.nfpa.com. In response to feedback from NFPA members and their customers, NFPA has developed guides to help designers of these systems select the right component for, and to help manufacturers identify which of their components might be suitable for, a particular application. These documents are not intended to be comprehensive, definitive guides for every application, but rather are intended to provide a general set of application platforms. The guides, NFPA classification of system and environmental characteristics related to hydraulic/pneumatic systems and components, and relationship with application platforms, consist of two parts: a) a list and classification of typical system and environmental characteristics, supplemented by a number of options for each; and b) a matrix that relates these characteristics to the most common hydraulic and pneumatic systems applications.

According to John Berninger, a key member of the NFPA technical committee that developed the pneumatic document, “Marketers can use the matrix as a checklist to help system designers narrow in on applications' characteristics and then use that in communications with manufacturers to specify component requirements.” Chair of the NFPA technical committee that developed the hydraulic document, Jerry Carlin from Eaton, adds, “Component manufacturers and system designers or integrators can find the documents useful as checklists and basic guidelines for identification of design characteristics.” Of course, every system is unique; system designers should consult with potential component suppliers and other experts to investigate applicable standards and regulations to ensure that the components they select meet the system’s needs. Those using these documents are encouraged to offer improvements for future upgrades. For further information or to suggest improvements contact Karen Boehme at telephone: 414-7783345, or e-mail: kboehme@nfpa.com. www.fluidpowerjournal.com | www.ifps.org
