Color Coding Of Hydraulic System - Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

Skip to contentSearchSearch Menu

To Enhance the understanding of a hydraulic system, a standardized color coding of flows and pressures was established by the Joint Industry Conference (JIC) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

REDSignifies Operation system pressure.of of the fluid, often used for the piping extends form the pump, to the pressure relief valve, to the first component that restricts the flow.

BLUEBlue is used to show the fluid is not restricted, indicating there is minimal fluid pressure

GREENGreen signifies the intake fluid from piped form the reservoir to the pump.

YELLOWYellow illustrates the controlled (metered) fluid flow after it passed through the restriction valve.

ORANGEOrange shows the fluid that has been reduced from the system pressure, such as the fluid at the output of a pressure regulated valve.

VIOLET indicates the increased fluid pressure as a result of a amplified system pressure. eg: Fluid at thee output of the intensifier.

WHITE is to show is the fluid pressure in the system is zero or no pressure. Eg: fuild at the output of the intensifier when pump its not operational.Manage Cookie ConsentTo provide the best experiences, we use technologies like cookies to store and/or access device information.
