Description
Book SynopsisThis handbook is dedicated to the next generation of automation engineers working in the fields of measurement, control, and safety, describing the sensors and detectors used in the measurement of process variables.
Trade ReviewPraise for the Previous Editions "The editor of this masterpiece, Bela Liptak, is a longtime engineering consultant, a teacher at Yale, and a fellow of the ISA. He is clearly devoted to producing a useful reference. ... The book is replete with simple explicatory figures and diagrams; well-organized summaries with information on the costs, suppliers, ranges, and inaccuracies of the instruments covered; and practical tips on related subjects such as good instrument maintenance practices. ... Comprehensive, practical, and well-organized, this book is highly recommended for academic libraries and engineering company libraries. It can best serve as a teaching aid for students or as a reference manual for both new and experienced practicing engineers." -E-Streams "Those [contributors] eventually selected are without doubt among the best. ... Whether used as a textbook by inexperienced engineers or as a quick reference book for the experienced engineer, this book is set to continue to be the main reference to the instrument engineer for the next decade." -Alan Reese, Control & Instrumentation "I have seen nothing with the scope of this handbook." -Roy V. Hughson, Chemical Engineering "In our smaller universe of process control, Bela Liptak is a towering presence." -Terrence K. McMahon, Control
