Instrumentation and Process Control provides a technician-level approach to instrumentation and control techniques used in automation and manufacturing processes. With an emphasis on industrial applications, this text covers the common measurement of temperature, pressure, level, and fl ow. In addition, it describes the instruments used to measure position, humidity, moisture, and typical liquid and gas measuring instruments. Data transmission, networking, safety, and security are also covered. Typical control techniques are included with examples of common industrial processes. Fundamental scientific principles, detailed illustrations, descriptive photographs, and
concise text are used to present the following topics:

• Common instruments and measurements used in industry
• Data types and communication over networks
• Automatic control techniques and equipment
• Hydraulic analysis, control valves, valve sizing, and other final elements
• Safety systems and standards
• A systems approach to the integration of instruments in process control applications
