INDT 104 - Fluid Power I
PROGRAM: Industrial Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2020
Introduces the student to fluid power principles and components. Teaches basic circuit design through the use of symbols and schematic diagrams to build a foundation for career work in fluid power technology. This course will use lecture, lab, online simulation and programming to prepare students for C-209 Pneumatic Systems 1 Certification through Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA).
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Calculate and demonstrate the basic physics of fluid mechanics using Pascal’s Law. [e,f]
- Describe function and construction of various fluid power components, including pumps, valves, cylinders, filters, heat exchangers, pressure regulators, and accumulators. [e,f]
- Identify fluid power symbols and interpret fluid power schematic diagrams. [e,f]
- Demonstrate basic fluid power plumbing. [a,e]
- Design elementary fluid power circuits. [a]
- Troubleshoot elementary fluid power circuits. [b,e]
- Demonstrate knowledge of safety procedures related to fluid power equipment. [c]
- Demonstrate ability to read and interpret technical documents. [b,e]
- Demonstrate ability to use various types of software applicable to course. [a]
- Assess readiness to take the SACA C-209 Pneumatic Systems 1 Certification exam. [h]
