Provide solutions to fluid circuit operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to provide the solution to fluid circuit operations.

It includes identifying and providing the solution to fluid circuit operation problems, completing work and documenting solutions to the operation of fluid-controlled circuits. It also includes applying problem-solving procedures, using measuring instruments, applying appropriate circuit theorems, and providing solutions derived from measurements and calculations and justification for solutions.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Fluid power circuits as they apply to problems related to engineering diagnosis and development work functions must include two of the following types of circuit problems:

determining the operating parameters of an existing circuit

altering an existing circuit to comply with specified operating parameters

developing circuits to comply with a specified function and operating parameters

Pumps and associated control equipment must include the following:

hydraulic

pneumatic

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
