With an emphasis on the most commonly installed technologies, this guide outlines both the process variable being measured as well as how the relevant measuring instruments function. The benefits of each technology are considered in turn, along with their potential problems. Looking at both new and existing technologies, the book maintains a practical focus on properly selecting and deploying the best technology for a given process application.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe coverage in \u003ci\u003eBasic Process Measurements\u003c\/i\u003e enables the practitioner to:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eResolve problems with currently installed devices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpgrade currently installed devices to newer and better technologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdd instruments for process variables not previously measurable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvaluate device installations from a perspective of both normal process operating conditions and abnormal conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetermine the best technology for a given set of process conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Designed for a wide range of technical professionals, \u003ci\u003eBasic Process Measurements\u003c\/i\u003e provides a balanced treatment of the concepts, background information, and specific processes and technologies making up this critical aspect of process improvement and control.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003eCecil L. Smith, PhD, has over thirty-five years' experience in process control, his expertise encompassing every control technology being applied in industrial production facilities. In continuous processes, he has worked with oil refining, pulp\/paper, power generation, and ore processing. In batch processes, he has experience with both single-product processes (such as PVC reactors and pulp digesters) and the multiproduct (flexible batch) processes that are the norm in specialty chemicals. His primary focus is on designing a control strategy for a process and then commissioning the controls; that is, the process aspects as opposed to systems aspects. He also develops and teaches continuing education courses for practicing engineers on various aspects of process control and instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e02 June 2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-AIChE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470380246\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e358\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44311370367116,"sku":"9780470380246","price":120.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470380246.jpg?v=1780154219","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780470380246","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
