This course prepares students to connect, adjust, operate, and analyze pneumatic circuits using these components: quick connect fittings, tee and cross fittings, air compressors, filters, regulators, lubricators, gauges, rotameters, directional control valves, flow control valves, check valves, cylinders, and motors. Other key skills include: adhering to pneumatic safety rules, reading pneumatic circuit symbols and diagrams, applying the Force-Pressure-Area formula, converting absolute/gauge pressure units, performing reciprocating compressor startup/shutdown, applying Pascal’s Law, setting pressure switch, filter draining, setting lubricator rate, lubricator refilling, and measuring delta P. Students will complete hands-on labs with Amatrol’s 85-BP trainer, virtual simulations, projects, and critical thinking assignments to help prepare for the silver and gold SACA C-209 Pneumatic Systems 1. SACA is an acronym for Smart Automation and Certification Alliance.
