Newnes Instrumentation and Measurement Pocket Book is a uniquely versatile and practical tool for a wide range of engineers and students. All the essentials of engineering instrumentation and measurement are covered, with clear explanations of key methods, and worked examples to illustrate them. Numerous tables and diagrams are provided, along with all the formulae you could need. The emphasis throughout the book is on providing the practical tools needed by engineers in real-world contexts.

This pocket book is a handy source of information on systems and instruments for the measurement of quantities commonly encountered in engineering such as, temperature, radiation, stress and strain, and chemical composition. The third edition includes expanded coverage of microprocessors, microcontrollers and digital interfacing.

The contents of this book have been carefully matched to the latest Further and Higher Education syllabuses so that it can also be used as a revision guide or a quick-access source of underpinning knowledge. Students on competence-based courses such as NVQs will find this approach particularly refreshing and practical.

...is unique among this type of engineering resource. - Power Quality, April 2002

Have you wondered about the definitive definition of true rms voltage or current? If so, you'll find the answer here. You'll also find in-depth coverage in such areas as flow, pressure, temperature, radiation, force, level, stress, and displacement.
-Power Quality, April 2002

Another unique feature of this book is the section on microprocessor-based measurement and interface. This section is quite helpful considering the explosion of digital equipment use in industrial environments. -Power Quality, April 2002
