Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Assuming only the most basic knowledge of the physics of fluids, this book aims to equip the reader with a sound understanding of fluid power systems and their uses in practical engineering. In line with the strongly practical bias of the book, maintenance and trouble-shooting are covered, with particular emphasis on safety systems and regulations.
Includes index.
Applications of pneumatics and hydraulics in industry -- Basic principles of fluid power systems -- Features and characteristics of pneumatic and hydraulic systems -- Components, equipment and plant symbols -- Fluid power generation, supply and distribution -- Control valves I - types and principles of operation -- Control valves II - types and principles of operation -- Actuators -- Pneumatic and hydraulic circuits and arrangement of components -- Electro-pneumatics and electro-hydraulics -- Fluid power measurement systems -- Troubleshooting and maintenance -- Basic principles of fluid power control -- Emergency shutdown and safety systems -- Health and safety at work.
