NFPA WEBCASTS ENCOURAGE STANDARDS USE

Dec. 13, 2011
A new series of six webcasts from The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) will encourage attendees to use standards in designing and building fluid power systems to increase energy efficiency, improve reliability, reduce environmental impact, and ensure system safety.

The 60-minute presentations are free for NFPA members and $50 each for non-members or $200 for all six. They include:
