Oil Pressure - psid??
I always thought (be nice now...) engine oil pressure (always been turbine) was presented / given in straight psi - but doing some related research, I find 'limits' shown in psid.
Am I just confused (or stupid - or both....) - what gives? Thanks much. :confused: |
....differential

Yes, but differentialfrom what? I get the psid (differential) when referring to say, cabin pressure, but oil pressure?
I don't ever remember (or maybe just forgot...) the 'd' part when referring to oil pressure. Gracias. :ugh: |
Google is your friend.
look for coulton.com/beginners_guide_to_differential_pressure_transmitters.html seer |

the diff pressure is normally the difference between the supplied pump pressure and the vent pressure of the bearing chambers
|
Looking at Type Certificate Data Sheet on GE90 engine (long story....) - Oil Pressure Limit(s) shows - Low Pressure (differential): 69 kPa (10.0 psid).
As I said, seems I have never seen oil pressure limits shown in psid - only psi. Have never seen oil pressure indicators labeled psid always just psi. Maybe 'new' EICAS indication is different....... Thanks. |
