Question 176General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passStrainers are commonly used in hydraulic systems to _______________.
Aprevent solid particles from entering the filter
Bprotect the pump from fine soluble contaminants
Cprotect the directional control valves
Dprevent solid particles from entering the pump
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) prevent solid particles from entering the pump. Strainers are commonly used in hydraulic systems to protect the pump from solid particles that could enter the system and cause damage. The pump is a critical component in a hydraulic system, and preventing contaminants from reaching it is important to ensure the system's reliability and performance. Strainers help trap larger particles before they can reach the pump, which could otherwise cause wear, damage, or even failure of the pump. The other options are not the primary purpose of a strainer in a hydraulic system. Option A is more applicable to filters, while options B and C are not the main functions of a strainer.
