Description : The completer instrumentation reference book, 3rd addition From the Publisher Instrumentation is not a clearly defined subject, having a 'fuzzy' boundary with a number of other disciplines. Often categorized as either 'techniques' or 'applications' this book addresses the various applications that may be needed with reference to the practical techniques that are available for the instrumentation or measurement of a specific physical quantity or quality. This makes it of direct interest to anyone working in the process, control and instrumentation fields where these measurements are essential. The latest edition of the Instrumentation Reference Book is a comprehensive and authoritative collection of technical information, which is of direct practical value to instrumentation and control engineers as well as all instrument technicians and users. It is also an indispensable addition to any academic library for the benefit of engineering and science students. Written by a collection of specialist contributors under the guidance of Walt Boyes, the third edition of this book (developed from the work originally published for more than 40 years as Jones Instrument Technology) has been updated to include chapters on the fieldbus standards, reliability, EMC, 'virtual instrumentation', fibre optics, smart and intelligent transmitters, analyzers, level and flow meters, and many more.

Description : The first volume, Process Measurement and Analysis, presents instrument technology and performance. An appendix finishes the volume. The second volume, Process Control, discusses and reviews control theory; controllers, transmitters, converters, and relays; control centers, and panels and displays; control valves, on-off and throttling; regulators and other throttling devices; programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other logic devices; distributed control systems; and process control systems. An appendix contains international units, conversion factors, chemical resistance of materials, composition of metallic and other materials, steam and water tables, friction in pipes, tank volumes, and a supplier list. This set should be available to every process control or instrumentation engineer, and it would be an excellent reference on the state of the art for every university researcher in this area of engineering.
