Abstract

The primary purpose of this research is to construct a visual measurement system with Lab VIEW to measure the air-containing level in hydraulic oil. In this system, signals of pressure, flow and vibration, etc., are recorded by the virtual instrument based hardware platform and Lab VIEW testing panel measures the quantity of hydraulic oil air-containing and then displays the messages on the screen. In the measurement experiment, the significant fluctuation of the pressure signal can be observed through the piezoelectric pressure transducers and displayed when the air-containing level in hydraulic oil changes, which provides a valuable tool for real application.

Keywords:
