This hands-on, noncredit course builds on concepts from C-101 and 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. Aligns with Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) credentials. Designed for individuals preparing to enter or advance in the manufacturing workforce. This training provides foundational knowledge and practical skills needed in today’s technology-driven production environments. Upon successful completion, students will be prepared to sit for the SACA C-209 Pneumatic Systems I certification exam(s) and take the next step toward a career in advanced manufacturing. Please

note: If you are new to the manufacturing industry and have no previous experience, starting with C-101 Basic Operations is strongly suggested. Staff can assist with discussing options and the potential to test out of C-101. Recommended Prerequisite: IMT910.600 Materials: All required instructional materials are included in the course fee.
