International Measurements & Physical Principles for Fluid Power & Mechanical Technology

Physics is a science based upon exact measurement of physical quantities that are dependant upon three fundamental dimensions.

These three fundamental or primary dimensions are mass, length and time. Fundamental units must be understood in order to lay the foundation for the many concepts and principles as applied to Fluid Power and Mechanical Technologies.

This two day class will present fundamental ideas about flow and pressure, force and torque, work, power and energy, its definition, how it is determined and some basic concepts of measurements. Emphasis in this class will also be placed on the understanding of SI units (metric) and the conversion between commonly used US units to SI units.

To understand the principles is fundamental to understand, maintain and troubleshoot mechanical and automated machineries and an appreciation of process measurement and control. This course provides the tools to facilitate one of the most difficult tasks in the field of measurements, the correct selection of measurement equipment- in many cases, an activity not well understood.

The lecture will be supported by demonstration and animation of the physical principles. The class is directed to everyone who works with measurements and controls on a regular basis but it is also an excellent source of information for non measurement and control personnel such as project managers, process engineers and mechanical engineers.
