A new publication, 2024 NFPA Preventing Leaks Survey Results, has been published by the National Fluid Power Association.
As defined in the 2023 NFPA Technology Roadmap, there are many machine-level technology trends that are actively shaping the future of the fluid power industry. These trends include the increasing electrification, connectivity, and autonomous functionality of both the mobile and industrial machines that use fluid power in their power or control systems.
In September 2023, NFPA launched its Technology Task Force to better understand these trends, and to engage stakeholders across the supply chain in the development of the resources and connections that will be needed to keep fluid power positioned as an actuation technology of choice on mobile and industrial platforms.
The Task Force identified several projects that would help it fulfill this mission, including: On the topic of Preventing Leaks, Produce a report that summarizes the current best practices for preventing leaks, assesses the prevalence of those practices in the marketplace, and estimates the potential for improvement.
