UEENEEI125A - Provide solutions to fluid circuit operations
Overview
This unit covers the solution to problems associated with the operation of fluid controlled circuits. It encompasses working safely, problem solving procedures, including using measuring instruments, applying appropriate circuit theorems and providing solutions derived from measurements and calculations and justification for such solutions.
Assessment
For Melbourne campuses
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills and knowledge:
- terms and there definitions used in fluid power systems;
- applications of fluid power;
- Pascal’s law as it relates to force transfer, multiplication and intensification;
- mathematical relationships involving temperature and volume (Charles law), pressure and volume (Boyles law), pressure and volume (Boyles law) and there combinational relationships;
- fluid power principles related to components and the identification of components;
- operation of fluid power components;
- interpretation of fluid system operation from circuit diagrams;
- operation and construction of basic pneumatic circuit;
- operation and construction of a basic hydraulic circuit;
- routing maintenance procedures, and;
- safety requirement.
Required reading
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the Polytechnic and/or via the Polytechnic e-learning system.
