Piping and tubing transport hydraulic energy throughout the circuit of a hydraulic system. This piping may be flexible or rigid. When flexible or rigid piping aren’t the best solution, connection blocks may be used. In addition, several types of instruments measure pressure and flow in hydraulic circuits.
