Measurement and Instrumentation: Theory and Application

Measurement and Instrumentation introduces undergraduate engineering students to the measurement principles and the range of sensors and instruments that are used for measuring physical variables. The second edition has been updated with coverage of the latest developments in measurement technologies, including smart sensors, intelligent instruments, microsensors, digital recorders, displays, and interfaces and features chapters on data acquisition and signal processing with LabVIEW from Dr. Reza Langari. Written clearly and comprehensively, this text provides students and recently graduated engineers with the knowledge and tools to design and build measurement systems for virtually any engineering application. Early coverage of measurement system design provides students with a better framework for understanding the importance of studying measurement and instrumentation.Includes significant material on data acquisition, and signal processing with LabVIEW Extensive coverage of measurement uncertainty aids students' ability to determine the accuracy of instruments and measurement systems INDICE: Fundamentals of Measurement SystemsInstrument Types and Performance CharacteristicsMeasurement UncertaintyCalibration of Measuring Sensors and InstrumentsData Acquisition with LabVIEWSignal Processing with LabVIEWElectrical Indicating and Test InstrumentsDisplay, Recording, and Presentation of Measurement DataVariable Conversion ElementsMeasurement Signal TransmissionIntelligent DevicesMeasurement Reliability and Safety SystemsSensor TechnologiesTemperature MeasurementPressure MeasurementFlow MeasurementLevel MeasurementMass, Force, and Torque MeasurementTranslational Motion, Vibration, and Shock MeasurementRotational Motion TransducersAppendices
