A unique resource for process measurement

Basic Process Measurements provides a unique resourceexplaining the industrial measuring devices that gauge such keyvariables as temperature, pressure, density, level, and flow. Withan emphasis on the most commonly installed technologies, this guideoutlines both the process variable being measured as well as howthe relevant measuring instruments function. The benefits of eachtechnology are considered in turn, along with their potentialproblems. Looking at both new and existing technologies, the bookmaintains a practical focus on properly selecting and deploying thebest technology for a given process application.

The coverage in Basic Process Measurements enables thepractitioner to:

• Resolve problems with currently installed devices
• Upgrade currently installed devices to newer and bettertechnologies
• Add instruments for process variables not previouslymeasurable
• Evaluate device installations from a perspective of both normalprocess operating conditions and abnormal conditions
• Determine the best technology for a given set of processconditions

Designed for a wide range of technical professionals, BasicProcess Measurements provides a balanced treatment of theconcepts, background information, and specific processes andtechnologies making up this critical aspect of process improvementand control.
