Second Edition
By
Andrew Parr, Industrial Control Engineer, ASW Sheerness Steel, Sheerness, UK
Description
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 of 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.
Audience
Control engineers, technicians
