Instrumentation and Process Control is a comprehensive resource that provides a technician-level approach to instrumentation used in process control. With an emphasis on common industrial applications, this textbook covers the four fundamental instrumentation measurements of temperature, pressure, level, and flow, in addition to position, humidity, moisture, and typical liquid and gas measuring instruments. Fundamental scientific principles, detailed illustrations, descriptive photographs, and concise text are used to present the following instrumentation topics:
Process control and factory automation measurement instruments and applications
Control valves and other final elements
Digital communication systems and controllers
Overview of control strategies for process control
Safety systems and installation in hazardous locations
Systems approach to integration of instruments in process control
