Fluid systems involve the use of fluids to transmit and multiply force. The basic hydraulic unit for this purpose makes use of various hydraulic components such as reservoirs, actuators, filters and accumulators. It also involves the use of diverse types of controls including pressure control and valves, flow control, directional control and solenoids.
In this course, the student will be introduced to the theory, concepts, interactions and modes of operation of various hydraulic components.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the operation of devices used to measure and regulate fluid pressure and measure fluid temperature.
- Describe the functions and uses of reservoirs, strainers, filters, and accumulators in fluid power systems.
- Identify the types and operation of actuators used to transform hydraulic-system energy into mechanical force and motion.
- Explain the characteristics and compressibility of gases and identify the gases most commonly used in pneumatic systems.
- Describe safety precautions and potential hazards associated with compressed gases.
- Identify the types of system diagrams used in fluid power systems.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
