Fundamentals of Industrial Instrumentation and Process Control, Second Edition
by: William C. Dunn
Abstract: A fully updated, practical guide to automated process control and measurement systems. This thoroughly revised textbook offers students a solid grounding in process control principles along with real-world applications and insights from the factory floor. Authored by an experienced engineering educator, Fundamentals of Industrial Instrumentation and Process Control, Second Edition, is written in a clear, logically organized manner. The book features realistic problems and examples and detailed illustrations. You'll get clear explanations of digital and analog components, including pneumatics, actuators, and regulators, and comprehensive discussions on the entire range of industrial processes. The Second Edition covers: • Pressure • Level • Flow • Temperature and heat • Humidity, density, viscosity, and pH • Position, motion, and force • Safety and alarms • Electrical instruments and conditioning • Regulators, valves, and actuators • Process control • Documentation and symbol standards • Signal transmission • Logic gates • Programmable logic controllers • Motor control
