This review is from: A Primer on Pneumatic Valves and Controls (Hardcover)

A very detailed description of several different types of mechanically controlled pnuematic valves. I am in the aerospace industry and this book will help me determine what type of valve meets my application needs, and what critical parameters need to be considered to specify the valve requirements. The physics of the valve operation are clearly discussed with the right level of detail - not too complicated, but sufficient to understand the mechanics and operation.
