Unit 24: Applications of Pneumatics and Hydraulics Unit code: J/601/1496 QCF level: 4 Credit value: 15 OUTCOME 1 SYMBOLS AND STANDARDS 1 Be able to read and interpret pneumatic and hydraulic fluid power diagrams Pneumatic and hydraulic symbols: read and interpret e.g. energy conversion, valve, energy transmission, control and miscellaneous symbols; use of appropriate British and International Standards e.g. BS 2917,1S01219-2 (2009), ISO 9461 (Hydraulics), CETOP, RP68P, ISO 5599 (Pneumatics) Fluid power diagrams: read and interpret system-layout and circuit diagrams e.g. use of ISO 1219-2 Part 2, component lists, component data sheets, displacement-step diagrams, operating instructions, installation and maintenance manuals; applications e.g. logic, memory and multi-actuator sequential circuit operation, cascading techniques, linear and rotary actuation circuits Outcome one is somewhat general and difficult to cover without studying the other outcomes at the same time. The model assignments should be attempted only when a fuller understanding of fluid power has been achieved by studying the rest of the tutorials. This tutorial is quite short in content but provides an introduction to more complex circuits in the other outcomes. On completion of this tutorial you should be able to do the following.  Explain the general purpose of fluid power.  Explain the importance of standards.  Find and use the appropriate standards.  Explain the correct layout and identification of fluid power circuit diagrams. © D.J.Dunn www.freestudy.co.uk 1 1.
