Credit Hours: 4

Lecture Hours: 48

Lab Hours: 32

Contact Hours: 80

Fee: Yes

Description: An introduction to the basic principles of hydraulic pressure, flow, and system components, including system controls, symbols, and circuits. The student will state Pascal’s law and its consequences involving pressure; state the continuity equation and explain its application to the flow rate; name the basic hydraulic system components and state the function of each; calculate pressure, force, or actuator size given any two parameters; and determine proper conductor size given flow and velocity parameters.
