The last widely printed physical edition was the , released in the 1980s. While Ingersoll-Rand no longer updates the physical book (having moved to digital sizing tools), the old editions remain startlingly relevant. Fluid mechanics does not change; gravity still exerts 32.2 ft/s², and water still boils at 212°F at sea level. Because the fundamental laws of hydraulics are static, the data in a 1985 printing is just as accurate as a modern simulation.
This is the heart of the book. It contains hundreds of friction loss tables for water flowing through steel, copper, plastic, and rubber hose. If you are designing a chilled water loop for a skyscraper or a slurry line for a mine, you will live in this section. cameron hydraulic handbook pdf
