Introduction to Process Instrumentations (PRT 242/3)

This Third Edition has valuable information for operators of large or small water utilities who do not necessarily have a technical background but who are searching for basic explanations and general information. The manual discusses equipment, terms, and expressions that an operator encounters wherever electrical systems, automation, and instrumentation are found in water distribution, treatment, and storage systems. Chapters cover hydraulic and electrical principles, electric motor controls, measurement instruments and displays, pumps and valves, and automatic and digital controls

'Measurement and Instrumentation Principles' is the latest edition of a successful book that introduces undergraduate students to the measurement principles and the range of sensors and instruments that are used for measuring physical variables. Completely updated to include new technologies such as smart sensors, displays and interfaces, the 3rd edition also contains plenty of worked examples and self-assessment questions (and solutions). In addition, a new chapter on safety issues focuses on the legal framework, electrical safety and failsafe designs, and the author has also concentrated on RF and optical wireless communications. Fully up-to-date and comprehensively written, this textbook is essential for all engineering undergraduates, especially those in the first two years of their course.

Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of valves for the process industry Revised to include details on the latest technologies, Valve Handbook, Third Edition, discusses design, performance, selection, operation, and application. This updated resource features a new chapter on the green technology currently employed by the valve industry, as well as an overview of the major environmental global standards that process plants are expected to meet. The book also contains new information on: Valves used in the wastewater industry Applying emergency shutdown (ESO) valves Recent changes to shutoff classifications Valves specified for the nuclear industry The procurement process for the Nuclear Stamp (N-Stamp) The emergence of wireless technology and its application to current smart technology Characteristics of high-performance hydraulic fluid Valve Handbook, Third Edition, covers: Valve selection criteria Manual valves Check valves Pressure relief valves Control valves Manual operators and actuators Smart valves and positioners Valve and actuator sizing Green valve technology and application Common valve problems Valve purchasing issues

Control System Design Guide, 3E will help engineers to apply control theory to practical systems using their PC. This book provides an intuitive approach to controls, avoiding unnecessary mathematics and emphasizing key concepts with more than a dozen control system models. Whether readers are just starting to use controllers or have years of experience, this book will help them improve their machines and processes. * Teaches controls with an intuitive approach, avoiding unnecessary mathematics. * Key topics are demonstrated with realistic models of control systems. * All models written in Visual ModelQ, a full graphical simulation environment available freely via the internet. * New material on OBSERVERS explained using practical applications. * Explains how to model machines and processes, including how to measure working equipment; describes many nonlinear behaviours seen in industrial control systems. * Electronic motion control, including details of how motors and motor feedback devices work, causes and cures of mechanical resonance, and how position loops work.
