Fluid Power Fundamentals

This course presents the basic laws of fluid power systems and properties of fluids to explain the behavior of fluid power devices in fundamental applications. Fluid power components such as cylinders, motors, compressors, pumps, flow control valves and accumulators are studied as well as assembled in labs. Fluid power symbols are taught through example air and hydraulic diagrams. Also pressure intensifiers, air-over-oil systems, rotary actuators and flow dividers are presented in their applications. This CE course mirrors credit EGT: 117. Tuition includes book. Prerequisite - Industrial Print Reading (IND 134) and Industrial Math and Measuring II (MAT 706).
