This book is written in a simple and easy-to-understand language to explain the fundamental concepts of the subject. The book presents the subject of EIPC in a comprehensive manner to the students at undergraduate level.This book not only covers the entire scope of the subject but also explains the philosophy of the subject. This makes the understanding of the subject more clear and interesting. The book will be very useful not only to the students but also to the faculty members.
The book covers all the aspects of the course Electrical Instrumentation and Process Control for the undergraduate students. The various types of transducers, measurement of flow, pressure, level, velocity, discussion of telemetry, data acquisition system, display devices, recorders, computer aided measurements, optic fiber and smart sensors and various types of controllers are explained in the book with the help of comprehensive approach. The book starts with classification, characteristics and selection factors for the transducers. It also explains the resistive transducers, strain gauge, RTD, thermistors, thermocouples, inductive transducers and LVDT. Then the book covers the capacitive, piezoelectric and Hall effect transducers. It also includes the methods of measurement of motion pressure, flow, velocity and level. The book also includes the chapters on telemetry and data acquisition system. The chapter on display devices and recorders includes the discussion of various display devices such as LED, LCD, dot matrix and their applications. The discussion of oscilloscope measurements, Lissajous figure and digital storage oscilloscope is included in support. The book further explains various types of recorders, spectrum analyzer, digital data recording and techniques of DAC and ADC. The inclusion of recent developments in measurements such as computer aided measurement, optical fiber and smart sensors is the feature of the book. Finally, various controllers used in process control are discussed including the discussion of electronic, pneumatic and digital controllers. The book also incorporates the discussion of PLC and its applications. Each chapter gives the conceptual knowledge about the topic dividing it in various sections and subsections. Each chapter provides the comprehensive theory and real time practical examples. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.

Instrumentation and control system is the heart of all processing industries. No process can run without the aid of instrumentation. Therefore, sometimes it is said that instruments are eyes of process through which a process operators visualize the process behaviour. Instrumentation and control concepts have undergone a drastic change over the past few years. The book is meant for the graduate level course of Instrumentation and Process Control (Electrical & Electronics and Instrumentation & Control disciplines). The topics have been divided in 8 chapters. The first three are devoted to Transducers. In these chapters, stress has been given on Transducer Signal Selection, Pneumatic Transmitters, Smart Transmitters, Special Class Thermocouple, Nucleonic Level Gage, Electronic Level Gage & others. In the chapter on Telemetry, pneumatic transmissions have been added in addition to usual topics. In the chapter Process Control, three element control systems have been described through examples of Boiler Drum Level Control. And lastly in Recent Developments & Microprocessor Based Instrumentation System, development of PLC and distributed control system and instrumentation communication protocol have been described in greater detail with suitable examples. The book is a perfect match of instruments that are still in use and which have been recently developed.
Designed as a text for use in community colleges or vocational schools, this up to date text is unsurpassed in its treatment of such subjects as: instruments and parameters, electrical components(both analog and digital) various types of actuators and regulators, plumbing and instrumentation diagrams and Operation of process controllers.
This book has been prepared keeping in view the abstractness of this science Process control and for better understanding of this subject for practising engineers, teachers and students of Instrumentation, Electrical and Electronics disciplines. The major topics of process control have been explained with greater lucidity by taking appropriate illustrative examples and more number of solved problems wherever required, for easier comprehension and quick assimilation of the subject. Also the subject matter has been carefully prepared to cater to the needs of multi-disciplined engineering students where process control systems, are an integral part of their curriculum. It explains the concepts of process control instrumentation with a touch of practicality supported by related mathematical background to make the reading journey interestingly instructive.
This clear, easy-to-comprehend resource offers a state-of-art treatment of the instrumentation, sensors and process control used in modern manufacturing. The book covers a wide range of technologies and techniques, fully explaining important related terminology. You learn how to use microprocessors for both analog and digital process control, as well as signal conditioning. Additionally, you gain a thorough understanding of the various types of valves and actuators used for flow control.
