Industrial Hydraulic Control
An up-to-date guide for technician-level students which tackles the subject of hydraulics by explaining the application of industrial hydraulic installations. It includes information on hardware, design, circuit analysis and troubleshooting. The book develops with the explanation of the operation of various hydraulic components - pumps, valves and actuators with an impartial evaluation divorced from the design and development philosophy of individual manufacturers. Each subject is illustrated with practical details of application, relevant calculations, sizing and design parameters.

Chesterton 442 Split Mechanical Seal Installation
This video details covers both both the standard and enhanced 442™ Split Seal installations. The enhanced 442™ Split Seal uses installation spacers that are attached to the holder, allowing hands-free setting of the holder. The standard 442™ Split Seal uses the Y-shaped spacer that must be held in place. Understanding and following the simple steps described in this video program and installation instructions are the keys to achieving a quick seal installation and reliable seal operation.

Bernouli's Equation & The Venturi Effect
Fluid flow develops with the movement of liquid and gaseous materials and pressure sensors play a crucial role in determining many aspects of fluid flow.
Fluid dynamics provides the means of understanding the parameters that impact fluid flow.
In this context, the term “fluid” refers to either liquid or gases.

Exploring the Venturi Effect
When flowing through a constricted area of a pipe, a fluid’s velocity increases and its static pressure decreases. This principle is known as the Venturi effect. Today, we will take a closer look at this effect, including some of its applications.
