Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 2. Quantum of hours of workplace practice removed. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM18018 Maintain pneumatic system components (Release 1).
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM18018C Maintain pneumatic system components.
Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to check pneumatic system components, identify and repair or replace faulty components.
Pneumatic system components are identified and inspected and assessed using fluid power principles to predetermined specifications interpreted from data sheets and circuits diagrams.
Where straightforward removal/replacement of components from a pneumatic system is required unit MEM18055 Dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components and unit MEM18071 Connect and disconnect fluid conveying system components, should be selected as appropriate.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
