Industrial Maintenance:
INDUSTRIAL PNEUMATIC TECHNOLOGY (IPT 200)
Course Description
This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills required to install, maintain,
troubleshoot, repair, and set up pneumatic systems in industrial settings.
Learning Outcome
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
1. match the pneumatic components name with its schematic symbol;
2. solve pneumatic calculations such as those dealing with force, pressure, and area, and
convert readings to pneumatic units;
3. approximate the change in actuator speed given different situations;
4. identify the characteristics of direction control valves;
5. match the applications to flow control valves (ball, globe, need, fixed orifice)
6. Identify metering circuits in pneumatic systems
7. Identify different applications of check valves;
8. Safely connect, operate and analyze the operation of circuits using available gages;
and
9. use plant equipment drawings to identify the proper name and function of all pneumatic
components, circuit action in component failure, select indicators and manual valve
operators to isolate failed component and identify possible danger with two-position
dented valves.
