Analytical Instrumentation
R. E. Sherman, Editor, and L. Rhodes, Associate Editor
This treatment of process analytical technology, by a distinguished array of experts, chronicles over 50 years of process analyzer development—from its origin in the research laboratory at Ludwigshafen in the late 1930s to a dynamic, worldwide technology in the early 1990s.
Process Analyzer Systems Project Engineering and Management
Gary D. Nichols, PE, CAP
Most control systems and process analyzer systems engineers have encountered communications breakdowns, task difficulties, and other obstacles on at least one project. The primary goal of this book is to help minimize or eliminate such occurrences.
Industrial Flow Measurement, Third Edition
David W. Spitzer
Designed to help practicing engineers avoid costs associated with misapplication of flow meters, this third edition reviews the important concepts of flow measurement and provides explanations, practical considerations, illustrations, and examples of current flow meter technology.
Advanced Temperature Measurement and Control, Second Edition
Gregory K. McMillan
This book provides a comprehensive view of what is needed to take advantage of the latest developments in smart and wireless temperature measurements and control strategies. A fundamental understanding of the capabilities of temperature sensors and the advances in wireless technology are provided.
SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, Fourth Edition
Stuart A. Boyer
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology has evolved over the past 30 years as a method of monitoring and controlling large processes. This reference book offers overviews of SCADA’s component technologies, as well as the details necessary to understand the big picture.
Control System Documentation: Applying Symbols and Identification, Second Edition
Thomas McAvinew and Raymond Mulley
Documentation changes and the evolution of control systems engineering and design work over the past decade are included in this edition. It is the intent of the authors to help people communicate ideas and concepts through the use of symbols and identifiers.
Servomotor Sizing and Application
Gary Kirckof, PE
This book brings together all the resources needed to analyze mechanisms for the purpose of selecting an appropriate servomotor. Written for mechanical engineers engaged in the design of industrial machinery, this book is also well suited to the control engineer because it illustrates practical servomotor applications.
Fluid Mechanics of Control Valves: How Valves Control Your Process
Dr. Hans D. Baumann, PE
This up-to-date work on final control elements presents theoretical and practical information in an easy, conversational style, which makes it an excellent reference for experienced instrument and process engineers as well as students who are new to the field.
Measurement and Control Basics, Fifth Edition
Thomas A. Hughes
Ideal for classroom use or self-study, this newly updated best-selling book has provided thousands of students, technicians, engineers, and salespeople with a practical introduction to the principles, technologies, and strategies used in industrial process control.
Advanced PID Control
Karl J. Åström and Tore Hägglund
The authors of the best-selling book PID Controllers: Theory, Design, and Tuning once again combine their extensive knowledge in the PID arena to bring you an in-depth look at the world of PID control. Advanced PID Control builds on the basics learned in PID Controllers but augments it through the use of advanced control techniques.
Wireless Control Foundation: Continuous and Discrete Control for the Process Industry
Terrence Blevins, Deji Chen, Mark Nixon, and Willy Wojsznis
In this book, the authors address the wireless communication concepts and terminology that are needed to apply wireless control in the process industry. The control system interfaces and wireless field devices described in this book are based on wireless standards for industrial settings and can be used in monitoring and control applications.
Industrial Pressure, Level, and Density Measurement, Second Edition
Donald R. Gillum
Techniques and devices for level, pressure, and density measurement for various process conditions and measurement demands are covered in this comprehensive guide for technicians and engineers who design, install, calibrate, troubleshoot, and maintain instruments.
