About

Every practicing instrument, process control, and process engineer will want to have this practical and to-the-point pocket guide on good tuning. Good Tuning: A Pocket Guide, 2nd Edition is a portable, concise summary of all the practical considerations for tuning loops. It includes step-by-step descriptions of the three best field-proven tuning procedures, a table of typical tuning settings, a summary of valve performance problems, logic diagrams for troubleshooting, and more than 30 "rules of thumb". Wherever you have data and tuning access, you can estimate the settings for configuring new loops to review and improve the tuning of existing loops.

This second edition features methods for reducing valve backlash and sticktion and preventing excessive sensor lag and noise. It also includes adaptive controls and the application recommendations and considerations for batch control, boilers, crystallizers, columns, dryers, evaporators, extruders, neutralizers, reactors, and many other types of process equipment.

Handy Reference - Jun 16, 2008
Reviewer: Dennis Lauhala
I really like the size, and the material is already an asset since tuning hasn't been my strongest point. I like the fact I can toss this into my laptop case and have it with me when I need it.

Helpful Little Book - May 19, 2008
Reviewer: Pekka Kormano
I found this little pocket-size book a very helpful tool to carry with me, since I don't do this kind of stuff often enough to memorize it all (besides, the "half-life" of my memory is getting shorter and shorter...)
