Intermediate Hydraulics

Course #

302

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed for mechanics with at lest 2 years experience working on hydraulic systems and have an understanding of the objectives in the Basic hydraulic program course #301. The course will introduce mechanics to the different mounting method of hydraulic cylinder, pressure and temperature compensate flow controls, meter in verses meter out, control valves, troubleshooting hydraulic pumps and defining pump curves. The students will be get a hands on opportunity to trouble shoot a hydraulic system incorporating flow controls (meter-in/meter-out), control valves, check valves, cylinders, and motors.

Learner Outcomes:

  1. The student will be able to identify the different methods of mounting hydraulic cylinders. The student will demonstrate their knowledge of tandem cylinders, duplex cylinders and regeneration circuits by designing and drawing hydraulic circuits.
    2.  
  2. The students will demonstrate their knowledge of pressure and temperature compensated flow controls by drawing circuits and calculating the Hp loss across the flow controller at different loads and speeds.
    3.  
  3. The student will be able to define the difference between meter in flow control circuits and meter out flow control circuits. The student will be required to design and draw a meter in flow controller and a meter out flow controller.
    4.  
  4. The student will be able to identify hydraulic symbols and explain their operation. The student will be required to draw a composite diagram of a 3 position, 4 way, solenoid controlled, pilot operated, spring cen- tered with a float center valve.
    5.  
  5. The student will be able to distinguish the differences pump curves between vane, gear and piston hydraulic motors. The student will be able to analyze a hydraulic motor application to determine the maximum loading requirements.
    6.  
  6. The student will be introduced to powerful trouble-shooting techniques and will use these techniques to trouble-shoot a hydraulic system.
    7.
