Hydraulic Test Capacity at 99% hydraulic test stand availability: a worked example

This scenario runs the hydraulic test capacity calculation on the strong side: 99% hydraulic test stand availability, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when a hydraulic test stand, leak-test station, mast test bay, cylinder bench, or final functional test area must support a production or service schedule.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Hydraulic assemblies per test cycle: 1 assemblies / cycle (unchanged)
  • Available hydraulic test cycles: 42 cycles (unchanged)
  • Hydraulic test stand availability: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 88)
  • First-pass hydraulic test yield: 96 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Gross hydraulic test capacity = hydraulic assemblies per test cycle × available hydraulic test cycles) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 39.92 units for good hydraulic test capacity, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 42 units for gross hydraulic test capacity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.42 units for hydraulic test capacity downtime loss.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1.66 units for hydraulic test capacity reject or rework loss.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where hydraulic test stand availability sits at 88% and the headline result is 35.48 units, this scenario comes in 12.5% above the baseline at 39.92 units.
  • Use it when committing hydraulic-test throughput, sizing a test cell, or diagnosing whether a capacity shortfall comes from downtime or from rework. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Good hydraulic test capacity: 39.92 units (headline result)
  • Gross hydraulic test capacity: 42 units
  • Hydraulic Test Capacity downtime loss: 0.42 units
  • Hydraulic Test Capacity reject or rework loss: 1.66 units
