Hydraulic intensifier is used for increasing the ___________________?
Correct answer: C. Intensity of pressure of the liquid
- A. Rate of velocity of liquid supply
- B. Rate of flow through delivery pipeline of a pump
- C. Intensity of pressure of the liquid
- D. Momentum rate through delivery pipe
Explanation
A hydraulic intensifier uses a large-area piston to produce a higher pressure on a smaller-area piston. Thus, it increases the pressure intensity of the liquid, not its flow rate.
