SystemStak Systems . . . Easy to Understand, Easy to Design Figure 6 Fig. 7 represents a complete SystemStak system, showing typical use of functions available from this range. The circuit diagram also shows the use of a tapping plate for accessing line pressure readings, and a blanking plate to close off an unused station of a multi-station manifold.

Further Information Pressure Drop at Other Viscosities Published pressure drop data is valid for a fluid viscosity of 21 cSt (102 SUS). The graph shows the approximate percentage change in pressure drop for a range of other viscosities. To determine the approximate pressure drop for any given fluid viscosity, multiply the published data by the % factor for the required viscosity.
