Benedict R.P. Fundamentals of Temperature, Pressure, and Flow Measurements

Third Edition. — John Wiley & Sons, 1984. — 544 p.In this edition, the chapters on thermocouples, statistics, temperature response, pressure measurements in moving fluids, discharge coefficients, and flow installations have been especially strengthened. These changes and additions are in accord with the latest terminology used in the various standardizing groups of the United States and the international organizations.
In all chapters, I have tried to correct typographical errors and errors in fact, as well as to update the material wherever possible.
I would like to thank all the students, researchers, and teachers who have used this work, and who have been so generous in their remarks concerning this book. I would further like to acknowledge my debt to the members of the ASME Performance Test Codes and Fluid Meters Research Committees and of the ASTM Temperature Committees for their continued inspiration and for their supply of technical information, which I have used freely.
