Experiments on vane pump wear test following the newly submitted test method were reported. Tests were performed on mineral oils and fire resistant fluids HFA, HFB, HFC and HFD. Wear of the cam ring and vanes of the Vickers vane pumps show wide variety by fluid types and pressure.
Three types of wear progress in the vane pump test was recognized by the experiments: the first is, saturation in a certain running time; the second is, linear increase of wear with time; and the third is, immediate increase of wear rate after a certain running time.
Wear by R&O mineral oil (HM) increases linearly with running time of at least 300 hours when the pump is rotated at 1500 rev/min with a pressure of 70 bar. In contrast to this, the wear by phosphate ester (HFD) at 140 bar saturates in 100 hours and the worn mass itself is fairly small.
