Measurement and Instrumentation Principles

---

The foundations of this book lie in the highly successful text Principles of Measurement
and Instrumentation by the same author. The first edition of this was published in 1988,
and a second, revised and extended edition appeared in 1993. Since that time, a number
of new developments have occurred in the field of measurement. In particular, there
have been significant advances in smart sensors, intelligent instruments, microsensors,
digital signal processing, digital recorders, digital fieldbuses and new methods of signal
transmission. The rapid growth of digital components within measurement systems has
also created a need to establish procedures for measuring and improving the reliability
of the software that is used within such components. Formal standards governing instrument
calibration procedures and measurement system performance have also extended
beyond the traditional area of quality assurance systems (BS 5781, BS 5750 and more
recently ISO 9000) into new areas such as environmental protection systems (BS 7750
and ISO 14000). Thus, an up-to-date book incorporating all of the latest developments
in measurement is strongly needed. With so much new material to include, the opportunity
has been taken to substantially revise the order and content of material presented
previously in Principles of Measurement and Instrumentation, and several new chapters
have been written to cover the many new developments in measurement and instrumentation
that have occurred over the past few years. To emphasize the substantial
revision that has taken place, a decision has been made to publish the book under a
new title rather than as a third edition of the previous book. Hence, Measurement and
Instrumentation Principles has been born.

The overall aim of the book is to present the topics of sensors and instrumentation,
and their use within measurement systems, as an integrated and coherent subject.
Measurement systems, and the instruments and sensors used within them, are of
immense importance in a wide variety of domestic and industrial activities. The growth
in the sophistication of instruments used in industry has been particularly significant as
advanced automation schemes have been developed. Similar developments have also
been evident in military and medical applications.

Ideally, the principles of good measurement and instrumentation practice should be
taught throughout the duration of engineering courses, starting at an elementary level
and moving on to more advanced topics as the course progresses. With this in mind,
the material contained in this book is designed both to support introductory courses in
measurement and instrumentation, and also to provide in-depth coverage of advanced
topics for higher-level courses. In addition, besides its role as a student course text, it
is also anticipated that the book will be useful to practising engineers, both to update
their knowledge of the latest developments in measurement theory and practice, and
also to serve as a guide to the typical characteristics and capabilities of the range of
sensors and instruments that are currently in use.
