Fluid Power Systems & Technology Division

The ASME Fluid Power Systems & Technology Division is concerned with advancing the design and analysis of fluid power components, such as hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, pumps, motors and modulating components, in various systems and applications, including the most recently added areas such as microfluidics. Another core goal is to help provide quick and reliable service to both current ASME FPST Division members as well as anyone with an interest in the FPST and its areas of interest. Links with other ASME areas as well as industrial, academic, governmental and international groups are another important part of networking to achieve common goals throughout the world in Fluid Power.

Recognition of outstanding achievement in engineering is one of the major objectives of ASME. Through its programs of honors and awards, ASME recognizes outstanding contributions to the art and science of engineering.
