Contemporary Measurement Concepts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578117324)

Contemporary Measurement Concepts is an introductory engineering technology textbook intended to support a study of measurements, controls and common physical variables encountered in the process automation and experimental testing fields. The text employs real-world applications of pressure, stress/strain, level, flow and temperature apparatus to investigate contemporary sensing, transmitting and control principles. This is an excellent text for integrating and balancing inter-disciplinary two-year and four-year engineering technology curricula with contemporary product testing and process measurement/control concepts. The text is 10 chapters and 600 pages in length. Chapters contain introductory physical principles, application examples, example problems and real-world application-based homework problems. Chapter topics include measurement and control concepts; standards, symbols and diagrams; applied physics; stress/strain; pressure; level; flow; temperature; displacement; control loops and control modes.
