IMS 2041 - Intermediate Hydraulics

Clock Hours: 35

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Course Description:
The goal of the course is to build on hydraulic skills. The student will learn accumulator sizing, circuit applications, component operation/instillation, and 2-stage directional control valves that are used in industrial applications.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

Hydraulic DCV and Hydraulic System Components
1. Describe the function and operation of hydraulic DCV.
2. Learn and understand the different configurations of the DCV.
3. Connect and operate different configurations of DCV.
4. Describe the operation of a piloted operated DCV and give a schematic symbol.
5. Connect and operate a piloted dcv.
6. Describe the operation of a pressure-compensated flow control and give the schematic.
7. Connect and adjust a pressure-compensated flow control.
8. Describe and operate a piloted-operated relief valve circuit.
9. Properly connect a piloted-operated relief vale to unload a pump by venting.
10. Describe the operation of a remote-controlled relief valve circuit.
11. Properly connect and operate a remotely controlled pilot-operated relief valve.
12. Describe the function and operation of check valves and give there schematic symbols.
13. Describe the function and operation of an accumulator.
14. Demonstrate how to pre-charge a gas loaded accumulator.
15. Describe and operate a accumulator circuit for safety bleed-down, auxiliary power, emergency power, pulsation dampening, fluid dispensing, and energy saving.
16. Explain the specifications of a bladder type accumulator.
17. Size a bladder type accumulator for a given application.
