In a pneumatic system, compressed air is used to create work. Because compressed air is a
gas, it is important to understand how gases behave with changes in pressure, temperature,
and volume. There are a few fundamental laws of gases that will help you understand these
relationships.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
• Define the three primary states of matter
• Explain how temperature affects the states of matter
• Explain the relationships between the pressure temperature and volume of a gas
• Define pressure
• Define flow
• Describe humidity and how it is measured
• Explain how all of these work together in a pneumatic system
