High-pressure Hydraulic Systems

Service Description

Navy hydraulics and fluid power training for ship systems covers fundamental principles through hands-on and theoretical instruction, using resources like the NAVEDTRA 14105A manual and specific training systems. Training focuses on components like reservoirs, accumulators, filters, and seals, as well as system functions like steering, and teaches troubleshooting and maintenance for complex naval systems. The training integrates theory with practical application to prepare students for working with the hydraulics that control ship operations. Key training areas and resources Fundamental principles: Training covers the basics of fluid power, including hydrostatics (liquids at rest) and hydraulics (liquids in motion). Components: Trainees learn about the function and construction of various components such as: Reservoirs Accumulators Filters and strainers Sealing devices (gaskets and packings) System functions: The training applies principles to real-world ship systems, including hydraulic steering gears and other critical machinery. Measurement and control: Sailors are trained on how to measure and control fluid power systems using devices like pressure gauges and thermometers, and how to respond to adverse conditions. Troubleshooting: Hands-on training often involves using specialized systems to simulate faults, allowing trainees to practice diagnosing and repairing problems in a realistic environment.
