raising the bar in fluid powerCertifiCation

Can reduCe downtime and inCrease safety.

lets face it. Fluid power leakage is a considerable danger to all of us, due to safety and environmental impact that affects our people and our businesses every day. millions of dollars are lost each year for environmental clean up, personal injury, the loss of productivity, or equipment down time.

the international Fluid Power society offers a certification critical to the maintenance and assembly of hoses, tubing, and connectors. this ground-breaking program, developed in conjunction with the society of automotive engineers, is called the fluid power Connector & Conductor Certification.

this certification will enhance the broad based knowledge of your workforce to enable them to understand the importance of connector and conductor construction and maintenance in order to provide a safer work environment. it will also reduce costly downtime and environmental cleanup from component failure.

the Fluid Power Connector & Conductor Certification defines professional standards for those involved in the construction, installation, and maintenance of fluid power systems.

eaCh of us can do our part by utilizing one, simple, powerful tool: the Connector & Conductor Certification from iFPs.

with increasing competition from electro-mechanical and other solutions, fluid power manufacturers, distributors, and technicians must do everything in their power to increase and maintain the effectiveness and integrity of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. the areas for improvement are many, but perhaps the greatest opportunity is also the most overlooked.

Connectors and conductors are easy to take for granted, but they are a vital consideration in the success or failure of any fluid power systems. Hose and tubing assemblies are some of the most important factors in design, installation, start-up and maintenance. How conductors are fabricated and finished and how they are connected to power systems during installation makes all the difference in system efficiency, the integrity of the work environment, and the overall appearance of the job site.

there is a very straightforward and easy way to acquire the necessary education to do this job right. For the sake of safety, productivity, and professionalism, the international Fluid Power society recommends the Fluid Power Connector & Conductor Certification for your engineers, mechanics, and even your inside and outside sales people.
