Through three editions, "Process Instruments and Controls Handbook" has set the standard for authoritative information on instruments and controls used in the chemical process industries (CPI). Broad in scope, thorough, and practical, it has been used by designers, engineers, and technicians for dealing with process design problems commonly encountered in the CPI. The new fourth edition, now titled "Process/Industrial Instruments and Controls Handbook", has been expanded to include detailed coverage of instruments and control devices as they are used in the manufacturing industries. Extensively revised and updated, this monumental handbook reflects all of the latest developments on: control and data objectives; control and data systems, discrete-piece manufacturing control, and data acquisition and communication system architectures; measurement, sensors, transducers and transmitters; automatic control fundamentals and theory; computing elements in control settings; valves, actuators, and manipulators in control systems; operators' control system interface; control system design, selection, and specification. This reference source of measurement and control data should help design, control, instrumentation, process, manufacturing, and plant engineers design a system right the very first time and avoid costly downtime.
