Engineering Measurements - Methods and IntrinsicErrors provides a valuable insight into the equipment andmethods generally used in taking measurements, and helps engineersavoid or minimize the inaccuracies that can arise even when usinghighly accurate instruments. Many of the commonly used measurementmethods are described, together with their pitfalls and problems.The authors also incorporate plenty of useful, practical examples. Although there are a number of very good texts already availableon the subject of engineering measurements, most are quitetheoretical and few are written by practising engineers inindustry. Those written by industrialists often concentrate only ontheir specific subject area. There does not appear to be a generaltext covering theoretical and practical aspects of engineeringmeasurements, and in particular covering the areas of errors andpitfalls associated with taking these measurements. This book isdesigned to fill the gap, and incorporates knowledge obtained fromyears of practical experience in industry and R&D by theauthors and the various contributors. Engineering Measurements - Methods and IntrinsicErrors is highly readable, practical, and comprehensive. Anyengineer involved in measurement, whether in manufacturing andprocess control, development, troubleshooting, or research, willfind this guide a helpful everyday tool.weiterlesen
