Download or read book Fundamentals of Test Measurement Instrumentation written by Keith Cheatle and published by ISA. This book was released on 2006 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Targeted to engineers, technicians, manufacturers, and students, this book discusses the specialized test instrumentation used in R&D laboratories, testing organizations, and industrial maintenance departments. It focuses on the practical application of test instrumentation and emphasizes the importance of creating a "measurement system" that involves components, installation, wiring, and calibration. The design, application and calibration of systems for measuring pressure, temperature, flow, force, displacement, and vibration will also be covered. Emphasis is placed on the calibration of test instrumentation including detailed information about calibration equipment, methods, and records. Fundamentals of Test Measurement Instrumentation is a must read for those who want to design test measurement systems; select appropriate equipment; understand system component characteristics, system and component calibration, and operating principles of transducers; determine overall system accuracy; and formulate basic test procedure design.
