N2 - The fracture mechanics laboratory (FML) at ORNL underwent a major upgrade of its hydraulic power units. The old hydraulic pumps, dating back to the 1970s, were replaced by an MTS SilentFlo™ Model 515.30 Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU), which supplies hydraulic power to four servohydraulic frames in the FML. The upgrade also involved installing an accumulator assembly, water cooling kit, distribution manifold assembly, replacing hydraulic fluid, and servicing existing accumulator assemblies. The new HPU enhanced the operational efficiency and reliability of the four servohydraulic frames in FML, which are essential for supporting various projects within the LWRS program and other DOE programs.
