Chapter 1 Introduction to Fluid Power
This chapter introduces the student to the overall field of
fluid power. It answers the question “What is fluid power?” and
presents a corresponding historical background. Advantages and
applications of fluid power systems are discussed in detail.
Emphasis is placed on the fact that fluid power systems are
designed to perform useful work. A complete hydraulic system and
a complete pneumatic system are individually presented with
identifications of the necessary components and their functions.
The fluid power industry is examined in terms of its bright,
expanding future and the need for fluid power mechanics,
technicians and engineers.
Chapter 2 Physical Properties of Hydraulic Fluids
This chapter deals with the single most important material
in a hydraulic system: the working fluid. It introduces the
student to the various types of hydraulic fluids and their most
important physical properties. The differences between liquids
and gases are outlined in terms of fundamental characteristics
and applications. Methods for testing various fluid properties
(such as bulk modulus, viscosity, and viscosity index) are
presented. The student is introduced to the concepts of pressure,
head and force. Units in the Metric System are described and
compared to units in the English System. This will prepare the
student for the inevitable United States adoption of the Metric
System.
