Hydraulic Fracturing Applications

Course Overview

After completing this course, trainees should be able to describe the basic components and common types of single-acting cylinders and double-acting cylinders. They should also be able to describe the basic components and operation of common types of vane motors, gear motors, piston motors, and partial rotation actuators.
