Advanced Hydraulic

On completion of the course, delegates will:

• Receive a broad-base knowledge of hydraulic equipment used in the offshore industry
• Be able to identify symbols and components used in schematic drawings and design basic hydraulic circuit drawings
• Understand the importance of cleanliness levels and correct filtration placement in hydraulic systems
• Develop good safety practices while working on high pressure hydraulic circuits and will be able to use best practices in fault finding techniques and procedures to reduce costly downtime.
• The practical element is designed for delegates to learn and recognise faults and damage to major components in hydraulic systems during inspection and to adjust control valves and test hydraulic circuits for correct and safe operation.

• Hydraulic components
• Pressure drop through pipes and orifices
• Hydraulic power formula
• Torque – formula
• Formula – general
