Industrial Pressure, Level, and Density Measurement

Description

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. Installation requirements, selection criteria, calibration procedures, and accuracy are addressed. This edition includes a new chapter covering equipment selection, mounting techniques, and specifications. Other new topics and information include: Calibration and re-ranging updates for process calibrators, comparators, and other new test instruments Digital transmitter and communication updates, including HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, wireless transmitters, and multivariable and differential pressure transmitters and applications Added emphasis on non-contact level measurement advances in hydrostatic tank gauging (HTG) Improved density sensors and new applications Chapter exercises and answers are also included to reinforce the material presented, making this book an excellent learning/teaching resource.
