Course Outline
- Basic Hydraulic Principles and Fundamentals: Pascal’s Law, force, pressure and
area relationships, causes of pressure, concept of power, factors affecting pump inlet characteristics, factors
affecting actuator speed
- Fluids: purposes, quality requirements, fluid properties, fire resistant fluids,
compatibility
- Reservoirs: construction, sizing, location
- Contamination Control: sources of contamination, particle size and count, filters
- Pumping Principles: non-positive, positive displacement types
- Vane Pump: unbalanced, balanced types
- Pressure Controls: relief, pressure reducing, "R" type
- Directional Valves: types, operation and construction, series and parallel circuit
considerations
- Flow Controls: non-pressure compensated, pressure compensated, applications
(meter-in, meter-out, bleed-off), deceleration valves
- Actuators: cylinders, motors
- Cartridge Logic Valves: operation and construction, applications/benefits sizing
considerations
