Hydraulic Safety – Each day a scenario of practices that are normally accepted as standard procedures for work of hydraulic equipment is covered.  Hydraulic injection, venting pressure to atmosphere, ETC

Topics:

6 Fundamentals laws of hydraulics - Simulator activities demonstrate and bring body to the “Laws of Hydraulics”

5 departmental approach to hydraulics – Hydraulic theory broken down

Valves – Directional, Pressure Controls – Directional control valves, Pressure Control, Pressure Reducing, Sequence, Counterbalance, Pilot operated Relief, Check valves, Flow control.

Actuators – Cylinders, and Motors

Proactive maintenance and filtration – If your organization has an oil sampling program we can talk about your targets for Hydraulic cleanliness

Cavitation and Aeration – Difference between inlet restriction and air leaks.

Intro to troubleshooting tools – Using a load test cell to put resistance on hydraulics without exposing anyone to hazards of venting to atmosphere.

Simulator activates to add body and demonstrate the Fundamental laws.
