Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to safely remove and replace a range of fluid conveying components and assemblies, and inspect/test fluid conveying assemblies.It applies to repairs and replacement to pressure and suction systems on fixed and mobile plant/equipment, including marine, heavy plant and manufacturing plant applications with system pressures range of 10.5 MPa to 35 MPa, ranging up to 70 MPa.Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.This unit should not be selected when unit MEM18055 Dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components or unit MEM27017 Maintain, fault find and rectify hydraulic systems for mobile plant has already been selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 2
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Fluid conveying applications include one (1) or more of the following:

hydraulic

pneumatic

water

gas

acids/corrosives/alkalines

abrasives

petroleum

other dry/wet media

Potentially hazardous situations/ conditions include one (1) or more of the following:

accumulated pressure

contamination

fluid handling

Components and assemblies include one (1) or more of the following:

high pressure seals

seats

hoses

tubes

pipes

fittings

connectors

adaptors and anchors

other associated attachments

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.
