This is the instrumentation technician’s reference manual for process control. The instrumentation control process is made up of an assortment of different type of sensors, the ebook is a guide to those sensors. Mike gives real experience in troubleshooting and design considerations for process control systems.

As well as describing the inputs from the process, the outputs like electric motors and variable speed drives are discussed. Also as the contents indicate, mac valves and other valve types are explained.

The greatest asset of this book is it’s reference value and real case examples for ph meters, proximity sensors, manometers, proximity switches, pneumatic actuators, differential pressure transmitter and capacitance probes. (33 pages of pure knowledge, not fluff.)
