Marine Hydraulics Workshop (HYDR)
November
Duration: 6 days
Suggested Target Group:
Management Level Engineers and Electrical Officers
Covering aspects of shipboard hydraulics at an advanced level, this workshop provides a forum for theory lecture delivery, simulation exercises, hands on training, group discussions leading to improvement in competency and confidence in handling hydraulic equipment.
Extensive exposure to hydraulic systems is provided with many and varied shipboard circuits being traced. Thus the ability to trace, understand and analyze circuit drawings and to troubleshoot logically is gained by the participant.
The practical exercises performed on the hydraulic trainer panel further strengthen his ability to understand hydraulic principles, functioning of various components and also to troubleshoot faults logically.
Course Objective:To enable the participants to:
- understand the fundamental concepts of hydraulics.
- recognize component symbols and their construction, functioning and applications.
- identify symbols, trace and analyze circuit diagrams and troubleshoot hydraulic systems logically.
- learn through sharing of experiences amongst participants.
Duration: 6 days
Suggested Target Group: Management Level Engineers and Electrical Officers.
