Industrial Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Fluid power now a day’s becoming more popular and acceptable with improvements in various processes due to automation. Branches of fluid power hydraulic & pneumatic are gaining more importance in academic as well ass industry. Every diploma engineer must have basic knowledge abut different components of hydraulic & pneumatic with their construction working so they must be able to design simple systems as well as carry out maintenance of system. This book based on whole to part approach includes introduction to General layouts of hydraulic & pneumatic and then covering each components in detail. Mathematical part is purposefully avoided as it focuses mainly on working and intended for diploma students. Language of description is kept simple and only relevant information has been included. Main contents are introduction to hydraulic & pneumatic systems pumps and actuators control valves compressor pneumatic components and accessories in fluid system oil hydraulic circuits and pneumatic circuits. Last part includes hydro pneumatic applications simple Electro circuits remedies and fault detection in pneumatic circuit maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Figure/sketches are provided with simple layout so that construction and working can be easily understood. I recommend this book as a text book for course industrial fluid power or industrial Hydraulics and pneumatics mainly included in curriculum of diploma in Mechanical Automobile production engineering. Technical specifications of components such as pump compressor and valves are also mentioned in description like working pressure range flow rate. It covers almost all the basic components used in fluid power system.
