Stop guessing why your loop won’t hold.
A transmitter drifts. A valve sticks. A PID loop that looked perfect on paper hunts all night. Most problems in a plant come down to one weak link in the chain from sensor to controller to valve, and most books only teach one link at a time.
Instrumentation and Process Control Textbook teaches the whole chain, the way it works in a real plant. Follow the signal from the process to the controller and back again, and learn how each choice you make early affects control performance later.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- Select, range, and calibrate pressure, temperature, flow, level, and analytical instruments, and quantify measurement uncertainty
- Understand 4–20 mA, HART, and fieldbus signals, and diagnose transmitter and wiring faults
- Size control valves, choose the right characteristic, and avoid cavitation and sticking
- Model process dynamics and tune PID loops from a simple step test
- Apply cascade, ratio, feedforward, override, and split-range control
- Understand PLC and DCS architecture, alarms, interlocks, and safety instrumented systems
- Commission, troubleshoot, and maintain loops in hazardous areas
Built to be used, not just read:
- 16 focused chapters, each opening with clear learning objectives
- Fully worked examples with units carried through every step
- Practice problems with answers at the end of every chapter
- 30 original diagrams
- A glossary, an equation appendix, reference tables, and a complete index
Written for engineering students, instrument and control technicians, and process, electrical, and automation engineers working in chemical, power, and manufacturing plants.
Get the skills that keep plants running safely and loops under control. Buy now and start reading today.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
