Understanding Hydraulics 2MEM18020B: Maintain Hydraulic System Components

HYDAC unit number: ST-T11-0Duration: 24 hours (3 days)

This training unit can be nationally recognised through an association withOutline

Elements and performance criteria:1. Check hydraulic system components.

1.1. System components are identified correctly.1.2. The characteristics and operational function of each system component are understood.1.3. The operational function of each component is inspected and tested.1.4. Correct operation of each component is assessed against specifications.

2. Identify and repair or replace faulty hydraulic system components.2.1. Faulty system components are localised and malfunction is confirmed by inspection and testing using fluid power principles, procedures and safety requirements.2.2. Faulty system components are dismantled and rectified to manufacturers’/site specifications.2.3. Replacement parts are selected from manufacturers’ catalogues according to required specifications.2.4. System components are reassembled and tested for correct operation and assessment against specifications.2.5. Correct operation of the hydraulic system is confirmed to designated operating procedure.2.6. Appropriate follow-up procedures are adopted according to standard operating procedures.2.7. Where appropriate, service reports are completed using standard operating procedures.

Program

Examination: Directional control valve – CH34-T02-0Product identification.Location of necessary data to enable an evaluation of the product.Plan and perform a performance evaluation.Plan and perform repair options for the component.

Day 2Examination: External gear pump – PU99-T04-0Anatomy of a gear pump, including:Shafts and mounting patterns.Displacement calculations.Left and right hand models.

Examination: Performance test of a hydraulic power unit.Location of necessary data to enable an evaluation of the product.Plan and perform a performance evaluation.Plan and perform repair options for the component.

Day 3

Examination: Hydraulic accumulator system.This is a observational assessment where we give the participants a challenge in individually troubleshooting a system with random faults.

Prerequisites

Understanding Hydraulics 1.This course can only be provided for those fluent in English. Participants must be able to read and write, and to follow instructions.

Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, HYDAC will issue a certificate of acknowledgement to the participant, stating the course name and other relevant details.

Through our proud partnership with Kangan Institute, a nationally recognised statement of attainment can be issued for an extra fee.

Assessment - Work based evidence portfolio

For those pursuing the nationally recognised certificate for this course, part of the assessment includes the completion of a portfolio in your workplace. This part of the assessment can be sent to participants upon enrolment, in order to assist in their understanding of the topics covered in the course, and the assessment of it.

Clothing and equipment

Pens, paper, tools and training resources are provided. Clothing should be neat casual, or cotton drill work clothing is fine, but they must be clean. Open toed footwear must not be worn.

Lunches

Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are provided. If you have any special dietary needs, please contact HYDAC beforehand to arrange alternatives.

Dates and times

Times: 8:30AM to 5:00PM on the following days in 2015:

February 9th to 11th

May 11th to 13th

October 12th to 14th

December 7th to 9th

Course fee

Course fee is AUD $720 per participant, plus GST.

The optional surcharge for a nationally recognised statement of attainment issued through Kangan Institute is $180 per participant, plus GST.

Therefore, the total fee for the course and the optional nationally recognised statement of attainment is $900 plus GST.

Maximum class size is 10 people.Flights, accommodation and taxi charges are not included in the course fee.

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

If you are interested in applying for the nationally recognised statement of attainment, you will need to come to the course with a USI, (Unique Student Identifier). In 2015 and beyond, a nationally recognised statement of attainment cannot be issued to an individual without a USI to match it to.

Information about the USI initiative can be found at the Australian Government website: www.usi.gov.au

A USI is linked to the National Vocational Education and Training (VET) data collection. This means that an individual’s nationally recognised training and qualifications gained anywhere in Australia, from different training organisations, will be kept all together.

If you are a New Zealand resident, you will not be able to create your USI with your New Zealand passport as identification until you have crossed through customs into Australia. This is because New Zealand nationals do not need a visa to enter Australia.

If you are an international student from elsewhere, you will be able to create a USI by using your Australian visa as identification.

Text book

We also have a 384 page text book available, entitled “Basic Hydraulics and Components”, it is the supporting text for this course. It can only be purchased by those who attend the course.
