The student works with handbooks, manufacturers' catalogs, and trade literature in solving power transmission problems. Topics covered include principles of work, force, and energy as applied to fluid power systems. Also included are schematics, symbols, fluids, filters, strainers, reservoirs, accumulators, pumps, piping, tubing, hose, valves, activating devices, cylinders, and hydraulic motors. Planned maintenance and troubleshooting of fluid power systems are covered through the use of lecture-demonstrations and field trips to a variety of industrial settings that utilize fluid power systems. The student works with handbooks, manufacturers' catalogs, and trade literature in solving fluid power problems.
