Reed's instrumentation and control systems / Leslie Jackson.

By: Jackson, Leslie, 1929-.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookSeries: Reeds marine engineering and technology: 10Publisher: London : A&C Black Publishers Ltd, 2003 2010Edition: 6th ed.Description: 359 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. + pbk.ISBN: 9780713667318.Subject(s): Automatic control | Measuring instruments | Marine engineeringDDC classification: 623.85
Contents:
Introduction -- Temperature measurement -- Pressure measurement -- Level measurement -- Flow measurement -- Other measurements -- Telemetering -- Electronic devices -- Final controlling elements -- Process control theory -- Pneumatic control principles -- Electronic control principles -- Actual controller types -- Typical control circuits -- Kinematic control systems -- Control system analysis -- Logic and computing.
Summary: 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.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book aims to bridge the gap between the mathematical treatment often used by specialist control engineers and the (necessarily) narrow descriptive literature of a particular manufacturer. Covers the requirements of DoT and all BTEC and SCOTVEC syllabuses and examinations for Marine Engineer Officers and Cadets. Of relevance to Engineers from other industries too.

Includes index.
