Specifically, the front panel of the chassis 3 is equipped with three flow meter heads 4, six pressure gauge heads 6, four test pipeline interfaces 5, and four overflow valve assemblies 31. More specifically, please refer to... Figure 3 The left side of the housing 3 features a pipeline support, seven external measurement ports 37 for pressure sensors, an oil inlet port 34, and a return port 35. The overflow valve assembly 31 includes an overflow valve body and an overflow valve block. Two sets of overflow valve assemblies are provided. The overflow valve block is mounted on the housing 3, and the overflow valve body is installed on the overflow valve block. The overflow valve body is used to connect to the product being tested. The two pairs of overflow valve bodies are connected in parallel to a flow meter. The flow meter is connected to a data acquisition module (i.e., an electrical box) via a cable. The data acquisition module is connected to a display module, allowing simultaneous viewing of flow information on a computer and display module.

[0024] The right side of chassis 3 features a support arm with pre-drilled holes for cable management. The support arm only requires drilling holes according to the dimensions to install the base; the installation of the stand, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc., is the responsibility of the client. The cable management holes are 50mm in diameter and are intended for VGA, power, and USB cables, and will accommodate cable retractors.
[0025] In some feasible embodiments, a double door is installed at the rear of the chassis 3 to facilitate installation, maintenance, and waste oil cleaning. The interior of the chassis 3 uses stainless steel piping, with aviation hydraulic oil as the medium, a maximum operating pressure of 20 MPa, and a maximum operating flow rate of 60 L / min.
