Hydraulics: Hydraulic Fluid is part five of the Hydraulics seven-part training series.

No matter how well a hydraulic system is designed, it will eventually malfunction if fluid is not maintained properly. This course details the components that store, conduct, and maintain hydraulic fluid.

Course objectives include:

• Identify the characteristics that enable hydraulic fluid to perform required functions within a hydraulic system
• Describe the function, structure, and basic operation of reservoirs and accumulators, various types of conductors and fittings, hydraulic seals, and hydraulic filters
• Describe the structure and basic operation of various types of hydraulic heat exchangers.
