Jackson, Leslie creator text 06 London Adlard Coles Nautical 1992 4th monographic 359 p. : ill. Aiming to bridge the gap between the mathematical treatment often used by specialist control engineers and the (necessarily) narrow descriptive literature of a particular manufacturer, this book covers the requirements of DoT and all BTEC and SCOTVEC syllabuses for Marine Engineer Officers and Cadets. Test examples and speciment exam questions are provided, along with many explanatory diagrams. This book is written primarily for those with a good general engineering background who have had little experience in instrumentation and control. It favours marine engineering, but students and engineers in other industries should find it a useful reference as the subject has a common basis. The text is presented from basic principles, using analogues where appropriate. 1.Temperature Measurement 2. Pressure Measurement 3. Level Measurement 4. Flow Measurement 5. Other Measurements 6.
