Pneumatic systems work because of a special property of fluids and the way these fluids transmit force and pressure. Understanding how fluids transmit energy will allow you to maintain your pneumatic control systems at desired operating conditions.
This interactive online course will teach you about the different sources of pneumatic energy along with how force is carried through gases and liquids. Additionally, you will learn ways compressed air is used in pneumatic systems. You will also learn about calculation methods for determining how much pressure is generated in gases.
