Using Standards to Improve System Design
NFPA Educational Webcast Series

Beginning early 2012, the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) will present a series of webcasts to focus on key issues facing the fluid power industry today. Learn how to use standards to design and build better fluid power systems to
• increase energy efficiency
• improve reliability
• reduce environmental impact
• ensure system safety

A series of six webcasts will be presented by leading experts in the standards that can help you apply fluid power more effectively and efficiently. Each 60-minute presentation will include at least 15 minutes of questions and answers. This is your chance to talk with the people who know these important standards the best. Join NFPA for as many of the six presentations you would like.

Price:
NFPA members – Free
Non-members – $50 per webcast, or $200 for all six presentations.
