About this title

Synopsis

A multidisciplinary reference of engineering measurement tools, techniques, and applications—Volume 2

"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science." — Lord Kelvin

Measurement falls at the heart of any engineering discipline and job function. Whether engineers are attempting to state requirements quantitatively and demonstrate compliance; to track progress and predict results; or to analyze costs and benefits, they must use the right tools and techniques to produce meaningful, useful data.

The Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering is the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference set on engineering measurements—beyond anything on the market today. Encyclopedic in scope, Volume 2 spans several disciplines—Materials Properties and Testing, Instrumentation, and Measurement Standards—and covers:

• Viscosity Measurement
• Corrosion Monitoring
• Thermal Conductivity of Engineering Materials
• Optical Methods for the Measurement of Thermal Conductivity
• Properties of Metals and Alloys
• Electrical Properties of Polymers
• Testing of Metallic Materials
• Testing and Instrumental Analysis for Plastics Processing
• Analytical Tools for Estimation of ParticulateComposite Material Properties
• Input and Output Characteristics
• Measurement Standards and Accuracy
• Tribology Measurements
• Surface Properties Measurement
• Plastics Testing
• Mechanical Properties of Polymers
• Nondestructive Inspection
• Ceramics Testing
• Instrument Statics
• Signal Processing
• Bridge Transducers
• Units and Standards
• Measurement Uncertainty
• Data Acquisition and Display Systems

Vital for engineers, scientists, and technical managers in industry and government, Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering will also prove ideal for members of major engineering associations and academics and researchers at universities and laboratories.
