Hydraulic Control Systems

Excellent book for understanding and using hydraulic systems and components. It is written as a textbook, but still has great examples of analyses throughout the book. This is an excellent follow-on to Merrit's book. No important concepts are relegated to "homework" problems. The author is an excellent writer and leaves no stone unturned to cover the material. Very few typos and the book's progression is logical and intuitive. The book covers three areas: fundamentals (with more depth than fundamentals), hydraulic components (not a simplistic, cursory approach like Pippinger), and hydraulic control systems. This book is worth twice the price for engineers needing more advanced design approach information.

The author of this book was my professor in the Hydraulic control systems class at MIZZOU. Therefore, I bought this book since it is the textbook for the class. I would like to say that this book is very useful in order to understand the hydraulic systems. I've got a lot of knowledge from it. Easy to understand.

Really good book. Professional reference for Hydraulic Control Systems. Wish there is more from same author, since this seems to be 1st part of a much longer story!

Product is as described.

Great book. All the important subjects of hydraulic control system are covered by this book. I recommend!

Noah Manring was my professor for this course at the University of Missouri back in 2007.Now, as a working fluid power/controls engineer, I still continue to reference this book regularly. There are good explanations for the different types of systems used in hydraulic circuits. The problems are good practice to familiarize the student with the types of analyses in hydraulic systems.I highly recommend this book for student and professionals alike who would like a better analytic background on the types of control systems used in hydraulics.

A very difficult book to understand especially the formula.

As a hydraulic control book, I like it!There are few books on hydraulic control right now, We should do something on in the field!

This isn't the sort of book you sit and read from cover to cover, but it's been on my desk for a good few weeks now is has become the first place I look when I need information relating to hydraulic systems.For that alone I recommend it highly

The must have book for all Industrial Hydraulucs engineers and fluid power system professionals.Many renowned system simulation software companies (German, USA, Denmark, Swedish, Austrian) have built their fluid simulation models based on this book.What better technical literature is needed for Hydraulic specialists!

This is an amazing piece of work, it is quite expensive but worth it, if you want to learn Hydraulics in detail
