Hydraulic fluid power — Electrically controlled hydraulic pumps — Test methods to determine performance characteristics

ISO 17599:2003 specifies methods for determining the steady-state performance characteristics and dynamic performance characteristics of positive-displacement electrically and electronically controlled hydraulic pumps, so as to allow comparison of the performance of different components.

Pumps covered by ISO 17599:2003 have the capacity to affect changes in the output flow or pressure in proportion to the electrical or electronic input signals. These pumps can be of the load-sensing control type, servo-control type, or electrical variable displacement mechanism type, which control output flow and output pressure by feedback using electrical signals.
