Instrumentation and Process Control

Description

Instrumentation and Process Control is a technician-level approach to instrumentation and control techniques used in advanced manufacturing. The book is divided into two parts: Part 1, Instrumentation (Chapters 1 to 28) and Part 2, Process Control (Chapters 29 to 52). The content is organized in a logical sequence beginning with an introduction to the field of instrumentation and continuing through all the elements of a control system. This edition offers the following instructional advantages: Systems approach to integrating instruments into a complex system Comprehensive applications for instruments and controllers in typical industrial control systems Examples that show how to install instruments and protect them from damaging environmental conditions CONTENTS Part 1 ― Instrumentation • Instrumentation Overview • Fundamentals of Process Control • Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams • Temperature, Heat, and Energy • Thermal Expansion Thermometers • Electrical Thermometers • Infrared Radiation Thermometers • Practical Temperature Measurement and Calibration • Pressure • Mechanical Pressure Instruments • Electrical Pressure Instruments • Practical Pressure Measurement and Calibration • Mechanical Level Instruments • Electrical Level Instruments • Ultrasonic, Radar, and Laser Level Instruments • Nuclear Level Instruments and Weigh Systems • Practical Level Measurement and Calibration • Fluid Flow • Differential Pressure Flowmeters • Mechanical Flowmeters • Magnetic, Ultrasonic, and Mass Flowmeters • Practical Flow Measurement • Gas Analyzers • Humidity and Solids Moisture Analyzers • Liquid Analyzers • Electrochemical and Composition Analyzers • Mechanical and Proximity Switches • Practical Position Measurement Part 2 ― Process Control • Transmission Signals • Digital Numbering Systems and Codes • Digital Communications • Industrial Networks • Wireless Systems • Practical Transmission and Communication • Automatic Control and Process Dynamics • Control Strategies • Controller Tuning • Digital and Electric Controllers • Hydraulic Analysis • Control Valves • Selection and Sizing of Control Valves • Regulators and Dampers • Actuators and Positioners • Variable-Speed Drives and Electric Power Controllers • Safety Devices and Equipment • Electrical Safety Standards • Safety Instrumented Systems • General Control Techniques • Temperature Control • Pressure and Level Control • Flow Control • Analysis and Multivariable Control Review: Excellent resource - Great book Review: Expensive, but it's a long-term investment - A detailed and professional book, written in an organized manner and with illustrations that illustrate each topic. Suitable for those entering the world of instrumentation and control and who want to understand the world of control in depth. As an individual, it is less common to purchase such books, I would recommend it to any educational institution and large organizations that want to instill professional background and knowledge in their employees. In general, it can be said that ATP Publishing publishes materials that are not available everywhere, so it is always worth taking an interest in their products. Although the price is very expensive, $187 after discount (excluding shipping and tax), I expected something more reasonable from desertcart, and it was a deception on their part that only two copies remained in stock, so I purchased quickly.
