Chapter 1 Introduction to Fluid Power
d d d d d
This chapter introduces the student to the overall field of fluid
d d d d d d d d d d
power. It answers the question “What is fluid power?” and presents a
d d d d d d d d d d d d
corresponding historical background. Advantages and applications of
d d d d d d d
fluid power systems are discussed in detail.
d d d d d d d
Emphasis is placed on the fact that fluid power systems are designed to
d d d d d d d d d d d d
perform useful work. A complete hydraulic system and a complete
d d d d d d d d d d
pneumatic system are individually presented with identifications of
d d d d d d d d
the necessary components and their functions. The fluid power industry
d d d d d d d d d d
is examined in terms of its bright, expanding future and the need for
d d d d d d d d d d d d d
fluid power mechanics, technicians and engineers.

Chapter 2 Physical Properties of Hydraulic Fluids
d d d d d d
This chapter deals with the single most important material in a
d d d d d d d d d d
hydraulic system: the working fluid. It introduces the student to the
d d d d d d d d d d d
various types of hydraulic fluids and their most important physical
d d d d d d d d d d
properties. The differences between liquids and gases are outlined in
d d d d d d d d d d
terms of fundamental characteristics and applications. Methods for
d d d d d d d d
testing various fluid properties (such as bulk modulus, viscosity, and
d d d d d d d d d d
viscosity index) are presented. The student is introduced to the
d d d d d d d d d d
concepts of pressure, head and force. Units in the Metric System are
d d d d d d d d d d d d
described and compared to units in the English System. This will prepare
d d d d d d d d d d d d
the student for the inevitable United States adoption of the Metric
d d d d d d d d d d d
System.
