Industrial Pneumatics (Metric)
- Basic Physics – Build your foundation for the course by understanding the basic physics principles that govern pneumatics—energy, work, power, horsepower, heat, torque, flow, and pressure—as well as laws such as Boyle’s and Charles’ Gas Laws
- Compressors – Learn the terminology associated with compressors, see how compressors operate, and become familiar with the components that ensure safe and efficient operation of systems
- Air Dryers – Discover the various ways air is dried to help preserve the metal parts exposed to air pressure
- Air Preparation – Understand the steps of final preparation associated with filtering, regulating, and lubricating air before use in hydraulic systems, and when these techniques are necessary
- Air Distribution – Study the various points of air consumption, the pipe networks and how distribution is used to eliminate many potential problems
- Directional Control Valves – See the designs, operation techniques, port layouts, positions, and pressure configurations that help make pneumatic systems operate
- Actuators – Learn the interface components that convert pneumatic energy into mechanical energy and the motions used by actuators in pneumatic systems
- Miscellaneous Valves – Examine how various valves operation and learn their application within pneumatic systems—check, shuttle, pulse, quick exhaust, to name a few
- Accessories – Get an overview of several accessory components used in pneumatic circuits—pressure gauges, flow meters, mufflers, air nozzles, and more
- Airline Conductors – Learn the types of airline conductors and how they are best used to carry air to all the various components in the pneumatic circuit
- Vacuum – See demonstrations on how vacuum is created to help your system work
- Understanding Schematics – Identify the different basic symbols of a pneumatic schematic and learn to read the layout of a Industrial Pneumatic system on paper or computer
