Overview

Nearly all industrial processes require objects to be moved, manipulated or subjected to some sort of force. This is frequently accomplished by means of electrical equipment (such as motors or solenoids), or via devices driven by air (pneumatics) or liquids (hydraulics).

This book has been written by a process control engineer as a guide to the operation or hydraulic and pneumatic systems for all engineers and technicians who wish to have an insight into the components and operation of such a system.

This second edition has been fully updated to include all recent developments such as the increasing use of proportional valves, and includes an extra expanded section on industrial safety. It will prove indispensable to all those wishing to learn about hydraulics and pneumatics.

includes more essential, but simple maths on pipe flow and pressure dropsgives the latest information on proportional valves and the electronics cards now appearing in hydraulic systemsincludes a new section on safety including European legislation

Traditionally pneumatics and hydraulics are thought to be a mechanical engineering subject. In practice, the techniques and, more importantly, the fault finding methodology, resemble the ideas used in electronics and process control. The author is a process control engineer. Mathematical content is kept simple. This is not, therefore, a design manual, and topics such as pipe sizing and CV values of valves have been deliberately omitted. Annotation c.
