<span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydraulic deadweight tester (DWT) uses calibrated weights to apply precise pressures to test devices, calibrating pressure measuring tools. These systems are like the backbone of many industrial operations, powering everything from heavy machinery to precision tools. From the automobile and oil manufacturing industries to aeronautics, the food industry, and the chemical industry, the application of </span><a href="https://unitestcalibration.com/service/pressure-calibration-singapore/"><b>hydraulic deadweight testers in Singapore </b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">is vast. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">However, like any complex system, these instruments require regular maintenance to maintain top-notch performance and longevity. </span>

<strong>In this article, we’ll discuss a maintenance checklist guided by our experts:</strong>
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first step is to regularly check hydraulic oil levels and quality as specified by the manufacturer. Depending on the instruction, it’s recommended to change the oil every 2,000–3,000 hours of operation. Also, try to keep entry points clear of debris to minimise contamination risk.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Replacing hydraulic filters regularly to prevent clogs and maintain system efficiency. Cleaning filter bowls is necessary for proper filtration.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inspecting hydraulic rods for wear, corrosion, and pitting, which can lead to moisture accumulation and system problems. Reach out to professionals for proper measurements. </span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Working with a </span><b>hydraulic deadweight tester in Singapore, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">organisations must check the seals regularly. Damaged seals can lead to leaks and equipment hazards. Monitor seals for signs of wear and replace them as needed to maintain system integrity.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inspect hydraulic lines for signs of damage, including fluctuations in pressure and line thickness. Address any issues to prevent equipment damage and leaks.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maintain optimal fluid levels to prevent damage to pumps and ensure proper system function. Follow manufacturer specifications and avoid mixing oils.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep breathers clean and inspect them regularly for damage. Replace filters and caps as needed to prevent contamination.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check hoses for damage or wear that could restrict fluid flow or cause leaks. Look into the pipes and fittings for dents or corrosion. </span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monitor for signs of leaks, including excessive oil consumption and overheating. Address leaks promptly to prevent safety hazards and environmental damage.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check the system temperature using thermometers and investigate any abnormalities promptly. High temperatures could indicate issues with coolers or relief valves.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check for aeration within the reservoir, which can cause overheating and component wear. Look for foaming or unusual noises as indicators of aeration.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perform visual and contamination tests on hydraulic fluid to assess its quality. Look for abnormalities in colour, odour, and viscosity.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monitor servo valves for temperature abnormalities and erratic operation, which could indicate contaminated fluid. Address issues promptly to ensure proper valve function.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use an infrared thermometer to identify areas of high heat on electric drive motors. Service overheating components to prevent further damage.</span></li>
