Synopsis

This pocket book is a handy source of information on systems and instruments for the measurement of quantities commonly encountered in engineering such as, temperature, radiation, stress and strain, and chemical composition. It has now been updated to include microprocessor-based instruments. Instrumentation and measurement is figuring even more widely in engineering courses than when this book was first published and so as well as being an excellent source of ready information for the plant engineer or technician, it also provides useful support for the student of engineering.
