Jones E.B. Instrument Technology. Volume 1. Measurement of Pressure, Level, Flow and Temperature

Butterworth & Co (Publishers) Ltd, 1974. — 402 p.The enormous and rapid increase in the measurement, recording and control of critical variables in industrial processes has led to a corresponding expansion of the staffs responsible for the installation and maintenance of instruments which, incidentally, represent considerable investment of capital.
To gain the full advantages of instrumentation, the instruments should be installed and maintained by those who bring understanding as well as manual skill to their work. This book is written with the object of helping the reader to understand the 'why' as well as the 'how' of his work. It is presumed that he has some acquaintance with physics, but to help those whose knowledge of physics is small, some basic principles are stated at the beginning of each section.
It is hoped that this volume together with its companion volumes will cover the requirements of students studying both craftsmen and technician courses of the City and Guilds of London, and instrument personnel studying the courses established by the various industrial training boards.
The usefulness of the book is not, however, limited to candidates for the examination courses mentioned above, but it is expected that instrument and chemical engineers and others, will find a great deal of useful information within its covers which will help them solve the instrument problems which may occur during their training and their daily work.
