1. THE BASICS
Relationship between pressure / force and flow / speed.
Pressure drops, flow resistance…
2. OPERATION OF THE COMPONENTS
Pumps and motors (gears, pallets, pistons)
Pressure relief valves, pressure reducing valves, shock valves, counterbalance valves…
Flow restrictor, flow regulator, flow divider…
Standard and proportional directional valves.
Logic valves.
Symbolization.
3. SAFETY
Risks (pressure, hoses, driving loads…)
Penetration of fluid in the human body.
4. PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Reading machine diagrams.
Component identification on machine.
Pressure taking and interpretation.
5. EVALUATION
End of course questionnaire.
