  • Patent number: 10429231
    Abstract: A flowmeter test system that tests a test target flowmeter by flowing fluid through the test target flowmeter and measuring the fluid having flowed through the test target flowmeter by a measurement part different from the test target flowmeter is disclosed. The flowmeter test system includes, a storage part to store the fluid, a distribution flow path to distribute the fluid between the storage part and the test target flowmeter, a measurement part introduction path to be connected to the distribution flow path and introduce the fluid into the measurement part, and a flow path switching part to switch between the distribution flow path and the measurement part introduction path. A pressure loss in a flow path from the flow path switching part to the storage part and a pressure loss in a flow path from the flow path switching part to the measurement part are same.

  • Publication number: 20190249390
    Abstract: A hydraulic system for a work machine includes a first control cylinder to move a boom and a second control cylinder to move a bucket. A body of the first control cylinder has a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber. A first control valve is connected to the first fluid chamber via a first fluid path and connected to the second fluid chamber via a second fluid path to control the first hydraulic cylinder. A bucket positioning valve is connected to the second fluid path and a third fluid path to control a second hydraulic cylinder so as to rotate the bucket. A discharge fluid path is connected to the second fluid path between the bucket positioning valve and the first control valve. A discharge control valve is provided in the discharge fluid path to be opened and closed.
