Instrument Engineers' Handbook, 3rd Edition (2 Vol. Set)

This third edition updates the information in the previously published sections, adds, new sections to incorporate the new development of the past decade. and broadens the horizons of the work from an American to an international perspective. In this volume.Process Measurement and Analysis.The emphasis is on measurement hardware . including flow, level, temperature, pressure, density, viscosity, weighing, analysis, and safety devices. The Process Control Volume of this reference set covers control hardware , including , transmitters, controllers, control valves, displays, DCS, PLC, and Computer systems. In addition it Provides in depth-coverage of control theory and shows how the unit processes of distillation, chemical reactors, and many others are controlled. The two volumes cover all the topics used by process control or instrument engineers in their everyday work.
