COURSE DESCRIPTION

FLPT 112 — Hydraulic Basics and Theory  (5 cr)

This course introduces basic laws related to oil hydraulics and their practical applications to hydraulic component operation by changing either oil flow or pressure. Students relate the hydraulic component to the corresponding ANSI fluid power symbol and study hydraulic schematics for automated machinery identifying each component and its application and effect on the total system. Industrial plants and machine manufacturers who build machinery using industrial hydraulic components are studied in the classroom. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in FLPT 111, 113, 114. (SCC)
