- Summary:
- Written by a process control engineer as a no-nonsense guide to the operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, Hydraulics and Pneumatics, 3rd edition is the ideal resource for all engineers and technicians needing insight into the components and operation of these complex yet essential set-ups. --
This long-awaited update brings the book in line with modern developments and compliance needs, including: --
-Full coverage of both hydraulic and pneumatic machinery, with a practical, practitioner-led approach that does not demand great theoretical and mathematical understanding --
-Thorough and updated coverage of safety standards, helping control engineers and shop floor managers to ensure their operations conform with regulations --
-More abundant referencing, new and updated web-links, look-up tables and graphical keys that offer even easier referencing while providing quick access to other related materials --
Taking a practical approach to demystify the workings of hydraulically and pneumatically-driven machinery and devices, Hydraulics and Pneumatics, 3rd edition is the industry standard, best-selling introduction to the topic, offering comprehensive coverage of the latest pumps, valves and other hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, with a complete section on all aspects of industrial safety. --Book Jacket. - Subject(s):
