Description
Presented by the late Garnett Cross who was an industry leader in hydraulics.Garnett provided in-person training and consulting for 47 years - 1974 - 2021. His clients included the major corporations in manufacturing, mining, military, shipping and rail.The training has helped many organizations resolve expensive downtime and ongoing maintenance costs. In addition to the course material, Garnett will share some of my consulting experiences helping get plants back online and resolve ongoing maintenance costs.Students from many countries have attended the courses including African states, United States, Emirates, Indonesia, and Europe.The presentations include animated PowerPoint slides and demonstrations of hydraulic components. Calculations are provided using metric units.The course topics include:Principles of HydraulicsCompressibility of Hydraulic FluidHydraulic SymbolsTwo Cylinder ProblemCleanliness of OilCleanliness continuedHydraulic and Mechanical LeverageDesign of CylindersCylinders Oil CapacityCylinders in ParallelComponents of a Hydraulic CircuitSizing Check-listPipe sizes for 90 litres/minutePipe sizing with respect to turbulence of fluid and Reynolds numberHydrostatic DrivesCouplings and ReservoirsHose Identification and CouplingsCheck Valves and Cartridge ValvesPilot Operated Check ValvesFlow Control ValvesPre-fill ValvesDirectional Control ValvesSolenoid ValvesSolenoid operated valves with orificeExternally piloted system with throttle plateGasket mounted relief valveUnloading ValveFault FindingSequence ValveSequencing cylinders with sequence valvesSequence and pressure reducing valvesOver center valve with hydraulic motorVane pumpAccumulatorsAt the end of the course two lectures are provided covering field experience and safety ideas for hydraulic systems.The course includes resources which can be downloaded for future reference. An advanced hydraulics course is available, this will help engineers, draftsmen and foremen in the design of hydraulic systems.
