Hydraulic power is used in many engineering systems like machine tools, heavy machinery, chemical processes, automotive equipment, aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles. All fluid power systems involve the use of a power unit comprised of pumps, valves, piping, tubing, and hoses that convey fluid under pressure.
This course provides general information on the types and applications of hydraulic prime movers such as rotary pumps, gear pumps, screw pumps and piston pumps along with the network of valves, piping, and fittings. It also discusses several types of seals and packing used in fluid power systems.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Classify pumps used in hydraulic power units (HPUs), including rotary, reciprocating, and hand pumps.
- Describe the pipe, tubing, and hose used in hydraulic systems, including their materials of construction.
- Identify the primary considerations for selecting lines for a particular fluid power system.
- Explain methods for preparing pipes and tubing for installation.
- Determine hose shelf life using the cure date.
- Describe the fabrication, testing, and identification of flexible hose assemblies.
- Explain proper installation of flexible hose.
- Identify the types of fittings and connectors used in hydraulic system piping.
- Describe hydraulic valves, including flow-control, pressure-control, and directional-control valves.
- Identify materials used in the construction of seals.
- Explain the functions of wipers and backup washers.
- Describe the selection, storage, and handling of sealing devices.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 35 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
