Measurement reliability and safety systems 330 $a'Measurement and Instrumentation Principles' is the latest edition of a successful book that introduces undergraduate students to the measurement principles and the range of sensors and instruments that are used for measuring physical variables. Completely updated to include new technologies such as smart sensors, displays and interfaces, the 3rd edition also contains plenty of worked examples and self-assessment questions (and solutions). In addition, a new chapter on safety issues focuses on the legal framework, electrical safety and failsafe designs, and the author has also concentrated on 517 1 $aMeasurement & instrumentation principles 606 $aEngineering instruments 606 $aEngineering$xMeasurement 615 0$aEngineering instruments. 615 0$aEngineering$xMeasurement. 676 $a620.0044 676 $a681.2 676 $a620.0044 700 $aMorris$b Alan S.$f1948-$0463411 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814385103321 996 $aMeasurement and instrumentation principles$94123971 997 $aUNINA
