Not for engineers

Do not buy this book if you're an engineer, this book is designed for people hardly completed their primary school studies and know nothing about math.

Poorly presented information, more like 'pumps for dummies' lot of text and little information, can not be used as a hands on job training or a practical on site training manual.

Information is presented as general guidlines without a thourough study.

I am amazed to have found out that the author of the book is a professor.

Good general pump book

This book gives a very good general overview of pumps and hydraulics. It has a lot of great diagrams and photos to aid in explaining the topics and their applications. If you want to understand more than just a pump curve or cut sheet and further understand the components and technical aspects of what you spec as a designer or engineer, I would recommend this book.

Pumps & Hydraulics by Audel

I'm not impressed. Units are not consistent and terms (like force and pressure) are interchanged. Much of the material seems pretty old, so I'm not sure how honest it is for them to print the words "all new 6th edition" on the cover. There is some useful info, but, overall, I found it to be just an "OK" book.

Author: Rex Miller

If your into tinkering or operating professionally these are the books for you. If it says AUDEL, just buy it.

Such a nice company...think I'll give you this feedback free!

Am just trying to get an understanding of Hydraulics. Am not interested in writers who are so self-absorbed they neglect the efficacy of employing Semantics in their written communications on a subject, I like to assume, they know what they're talking about. Will look to see if 'Dummies' offers something. Looking for a book to learn from; not something for an engineering graduate to play with.

Still poor quality print and illustrations are from the 1940's.

I've never been a fan of Audel publications in decades. Nothing has changed. Poorly illustrated and printed. So out of date in quality of presentation. Unreadable.
