This book covers more than the title states, which forces it toward a fairly general text. Basic engineering equations for instrumentation, valves, and flow devices are included, as are practice questions, but are often too simplified for actual applications. However, since all calcuations now days are done on a computer (often via a vendor) this text would serve quite well in an introductory process enginering course. The only serious problem I found was with regard to the computer software related sections where the equipment is dated. Then again, anyone wishing to write about computers and software should realize that their information will be antiquated by the time the book hits the shelf!

This is a solid clearly written book including the fundamentals of control system and process measurement. It does not include many details concerning newer control system technologies.

I used this book to study for, take, and pass my Control System Professional Engineers Exam. It was the only text book I had.

This is the newer version of this text. The identical version was printed in the 1960's and is still sold on websites (such as amazon). The 1960's version is A LOT cheaper (like $2.00) as compared to what I paid for the reprinted 1990's version. It's the EXACT book with all the same questions only this one has a newer cover. The book itself is pretty good, although I only bought it for one of my cheg classes.
