Pre-Charging
Use an inert gas such as nitrogen for pre-charging piston
accumulators. Do not use oxygen or shop air. FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2

Piston Accumulators – CE Marking Maintenance Instructions
Hydraulic Piston
Accumulators
CE Marking
What is the Pressure Equipment Directive?
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) is one of the series of technical harmonisation directives covering
subjects such as machinery, simple pressure vessels, gas applicances etc., which were identified by the Euro-
pean Community's program for the elimination of technical barriers to trade. The purpose of the PED is to
harmonise national laws of member states regarding the design, manufacture, testing and conformity assess-
ment of pressure equipment and assemblies of pressure equipement.
The program aims to ensure the free placing on the market and putting into service of relevant equipment within
the European Union and the European Economic Area. The Pressure Equipment Directive provides for a
flexible regulatory environment which does not impose any technical solution.
The Directive requires that all pressure equipment and assemblies within its scope must be safe when placed
on the market and put into service. Safe pressure equipment and assemblies are defined as those which, when
properly installed and maintained and used for their intended purpose, will not endanger the health and safety
of persons and, where appropriate, domestic animals and property.
Units 1 liter and greater in gas capacity can be identified by a CE Marking place on the product label attached
to the accumulator. Units under 1 liter in gas capacity are designed and manufactured in accordance with
Sound Engineering Practice (S.E.P.) in order to ensure safe use. Such units do not bear the CE Marking.
Maint.

Installation
Most accumulators shipped from the factory will not be pre-charged. However, in some cases they will be
shipped with some amount of nitrogen charge, the value of which will be stamped on the nameplate.
Keep the hydraulic port covered to keep out foreign material until ready to make the hydraulic connections.
The accumulator can be mounted in any orientation; vertically mounted with hydraulic port down is perferred.
However, it should be rigidly mounted using any combination of the mounting holes provided at the hydraulic cap
or proper clamps. The hydraulic circuit, which contains a connection to the accumulator should be designed so
that it automatically discharges all hydraulic fluid from the accumulator when the equipment is turned off.
Example 1
Basic safety equipment for a single accumulator with permanently connected safety valve and gauge, gauge
control port, manually operated shut-off device, pressure release device and return line to the reservoir. Safety
components may be connected by lines and/or installed in a safety block. The accumulator must always be
protected with sufficient discharge capacity. If a check valve prevents flow back to the pressure source (pump), a
shut-off device is not required for safety reasons but may be appropriate for service and maintenance.
Example 2
Configuration with additional pressure release device which opens automatically in the case of circuit break down.

Example 3
Configuration with a 3/2-way-directional-control which simultaneously serves to isolate the accumulator from the
presure line and release pressure to the return line. The safety valve is permanently communicating with the
pressure line, therefore also protecting the circuit. The accumulator is either protected by the safety valve or
connected to the return line.
Example 4
The above configuration shows a group of several accumulators connected with a single pressure line which is
Maint.
permanently connected with a gauge and a safety valve. Each individual accumulator may be isolated from the
pressure line by a shut-off device and relased by a pressure device to a return line for maintenance purposes. An
external control gauge connected to a quick coupling allows observation of the pressure at the fluid port of each
individual accumulator.

Example 5
Configuration similar to example 1 but with serveral accumulators each equipped with a safety block. Each safety
block includes a safety valve, shut-off device, pressure release device and ports for the pressure line, the return
line, gauge, control gauge and the accumulator itself. This configuration meets all safety requirements even for
several pressure sources.
Example 6
Configuration for a transfer type accumulator with additional gas bottles. Safety equipment for filling procedures
is not shown.

Accumulator Seals
Piston accumulators are available for use with many operating medias. Fluid should be a non-dangerous liquid as well as
precharged with an inert gas such as nitrogen. Available seal compounds are shown in the table below:

*Note: Consult local distributor or factory for fluid compatibility information. Temperature ranges may vary depending upon fluid used in
hydraulic system.
** The temperature listed indicates the operating temperature range of the seals, not the accumulator.
Water Service Option (W)

Piston accumulators are available for use with water as the fluid media. Modifications include electroless nickel plating all surfaces
and metal parts. Consult factory for details.
Corrosive Fluids and Enviromentments

Standard piston accumulators are not designed for corrosive fluids and enviroments. Consult factory for special options for these
types of fluids and enviromentments.
Accumulator Storage
In order to prepare a piston accumulator for proper storage for future use, the piston must be moved off the hydraulic cap by as
much as 2 inches. Proceed by pouring 10 to 150 cubic inches (depending on the size of accumulator) of the system fluid
through the hydraulic port in the accumulator end and plug the port using a stainless steel fitting, then pre-charge the unit with
nitrogen to 100±10 psig to allow equal pressure on both sides of the seal.
The pre-charge should be bled off and the system fluid in the accumulator must be drained prior to installation of the piston
accumulator on the system .
It is also recommended that the units be stored in a vertical position to prevent the seals from developing a set (flat spot) on
the side that the piston weight is exerted.
The piston accumulator should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sun, ultraviolet and fluorescent lights as well as
electrical equipment. Direct sunlight or fluorescent light can cause the seals to weather check and dry rot, which appear on
the seal and o-ring surface as cracks. The ideal temperature for storage is 70°F.

Pre-Charging
Use an inert gas such as nitrogen for pre-charging piston
accumulators. Do not use oxygen or shop air.

Installation
All accumulators shipped from the factory will be
precharged to a nominal pressure in order to seat the
poppet valve on the hydraulic port. In this case the
precharge will not be listed on the label. However, in
some cases they will be shipped with a nitrogen
charge, the value of which will be marked on the label/
nameplate.
Keep the hydraulic port covered to keep out foreign
material until ready to make the hydraulic connec-
tions.
The accumulator should be mounted within 25° of
vertical with the hydraulic port on the bottom. It should
also be rigidly mounted using appropriate mounting
hardware, which is shown in
the Accumulator Accessories section of this catalog.
The hydraulic circuit, which contains a connection to
the accumulator, should be designed so that it auto-
matically discharges all hydraulic fluid from the
accumulator when the equipment is turned off.

for 5,000 psi, as well as the 25-40 gallon, 3,000 psi accumulators,
use assembly shown in Figure 6 (Part †870816XX00). If other
equipment is used, make sure it is compatible with the gas valve
assembly and nitrogen source. All components must be rated for a
pressure at least as high as the nitrogen source. It is strongly
recommended that the nitrogen bottle used have the
appropriate pressure high pressure regulator (not included).
Make sure nitrogen supply is shut off. Attach hose to nitrogen
bottle. If accumulator has a gas valve as shown in Figure 8A or
8B, follow steps A through L and skip steps F and J. If accumula-
tor has a gas valve as shown in Figure 9, follow steps A through L

(F) For gas valves as shown in Figure 9, hold gas valve at point
“C” with one (1) wrench while unscrewing hex nut at point “D”
with a second wrench. This will open the poppet inside the
gas valve. Note: Three (3) turns will fully open the valve.
(G) Crack open nitrogen bottle or regulator valve and slowly fill
accumulator. Caution: If the precharge is not done slowly, the
bladder may suffer permanent damage. Shut off when gauge
indicates 100 psi above desired precharge. (Note: It is
recommended that precharge pressure be at least 25% of
maximum system pressure.) Damage to bladder may occur if
this ratio is not maintained or exceeded. For shock suppres-
sion applications, precharge is usually set at about 65% of
system pressure. When the accumulator is used to supple-

CAN BE USED ON BOTTOM AND TOP REPAIRABLE 3,000 PSI ACCUMULATORS
(H) Let the precharge set for 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the
gas temperature to stabilize. If the desired precharge is
exceeded, close nitrogen bottle valve, then slowly open bleed
valve. Do not reduce precharge by depressing valve core with
a foreign object. High pressure may rupture rubber valve seat.
