Abstract
The properties of the fluid are important to operate the fluid power system. The fluid can be used as compressible and incompressible. Compressible fluids such as air and gas are used in the pneumatics circuit operation. Whereas, incompressible fluids such as water and petroleum are used in the operation of a hydraulic circuit. This chapter will discuss mass, density, specific weight and gravity, viscosity, pascal law, continuity equation, Bernoulli’s equation, Darcy’s equation, Colebrook equation.
