If you are interested in engineering, you should know about hydraulics - a field that uses incompressible fluids to power various systems. Technology has advanced so much that we have fluids that meet the rigorous demands of modern hydraulic applications.

If you're a fluid power professional, it's essential to have a thorough understanding of hydraulic fluids and their unique characteristics. The author recommends the ‘Hydraulic Fluids’ book as a comprehensive resource for learning about different types of hydraulic fluids, their functions, characteristics, and selection for hydraulic systems.

The industry has widely acknowledged that contamination is the leading cause of failures in hydraulic power transmission systems. Hence, it is crucial to take precautions and safeguard all hydraulic systems from harmful contaminants. Several chapters cover topics such as fluid contamination, its impact on fluids, fluid analysis, fluid quality standards, and fluid maintenance. To achieve reasonable contamination control, effective filtration and fluid analysis can play a crucial role.
