Description
Almost every industry that use liquids and gas in any form has a need to measure flow, temperature and pressure. This text is a practical guide on how to accurately use these measuring instruments to control processes in manufacturing industries for food, beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, oil, water and waste water, power, etc. With higher prices of raw materials and more severe requirements for safety and environmental issues, there is a growing demand to measure with higher precision. The book includes a number of practical examples from various industries. It discusses how to comply with safety standards regarding measurements and explains how legal control systems apply to measurements. The aim is to help any process industry reduce the risk of high costs and damage to both people and equipment.
Reviews / Votes
"This book provides step by step approach of studying measurements from the practitioner's viewpoint. It deals with an information for selecting of instrument and measuring the data from the sensing devices. It also covers not only the instruments but also the valve so that the trainee is able to understand the processes around the factory or plant. Lastly, upon the strengths above, this book will be utilized for the fundamental courses and industrial application and is worthwhile to teach to the student who needs to be refreshed."- Jae Cheon Jung, KEPCO International Nuclear Graduate School, Korea
"The largest advantage of this book is that it describes the essential issues in the process measurement in a concise manner, which is easy to understand even for non-experts of measurement technology."
