Abstract
A sensor and method for sensing gas absorbed in hydraulic fluid in an aircraft shock absorber are disclosed. The hydraulic fluid and a gas are in fluid communication with each other. The sensor may be incorporated in the shock absorber or in servicing apparatus such as a servicing cart. The amount of gas absorbed in the hydraulic fluid is provided as a parameter which in combination with other parameters allows a user an improved means to determine the maintenance state of the shock absorber and to derive servicing actions.
